These figures cover 273 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

The worst days
Worst days for AS 760
The latest arrival of the period was on 12 February 2026, 2 hours 36 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 12 February 2026 | 2 hours 36 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 8 March 2026 | 2 hours 7 minutes | Carrier |
| 2 March 2026 | 1 hour 48 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 16 July 2026 | 1 hour 48 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 5 July 2026 | 1 hour 36 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why AS 760 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 65% of the 1,534 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 65%Late-arriving aircraft
- 19%Carrier
- 16%National Airspace System
65% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 1,534 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 65 to one. The split is drawn from 1,534 delay minutes reported on AS 760.
Cancellations are rare at 0.73%, below the national 1.89% 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 3.0% 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 978 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.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including PSP to SFO (4) and SFO to PSP (4), but none flew often enough under AS 760 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SNA to SEA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 273 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 760
For a booking, AS 760 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.5% on time and 0.73% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
