Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AS 662, check with Alaska Airlines.

AS 662 earns an A+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 305 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AS 662's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 86 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 305 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule

When AS 662 flies

AS 662 flies PHX to PDX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:05, used on 52 of 305 flights, with 18:53 (36 flights) and 17:57 (35 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 18:05 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AS 662 runs 18 points better at 86.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AS 662 quarter by quarter

AS 662 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 97.8% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 75.4%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 76 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, AS 662 did best on Friday at 91.1% on time and worst on Wednesday at 79.1%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AS 662 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 66% of the 2,800 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

66% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 2,800 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 28 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 2,800 delay minutes reported on AS 662.

Cancellations are rare at 0.33%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.6% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The 1,010 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

Every one of the 305 flights under AS 662 in the data flew PHX to PDX. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 305 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.

What to do with this

Booking AS 662

For a booking, AS 662 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.2% on time and 0.33% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
