These figures cover 309 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

Delay causes
Why AS 750 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 65% of the 317 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 65%National Airspace System
- 35%Carrier
65% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 205 minutes out of 317, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 317 delay minutes reported on AS 750.
Cancellations sit at 1.29% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 0.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 859 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.
Every one of the 309 flights under AS 750 in the data flew SNA 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. 309 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 750
For a booking, AS 750 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 96.1% on time and 1.29% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
