These figures cover 292 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 14.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When AS 776 flies
AS 776 flies SFO to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:27, used on 35 of 292 flights, with 19:07 (32 flights) and 19:55 (31 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 11:27 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AS 776 runs 16 points worse at 63.2%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
AS 776 quarter by quarter
AS 776 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.7% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 44.0%, a swing of 38 points on roughly 73 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 776 ranged from 60.0% on Monday to 67.7% on Wednesday. With about 42 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why AS 776 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 64% of the 6,646 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.
- 64%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%National Airspace System
- 17%Carrier
- 2%Extreme weather
64% 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 6,646 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 32 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 6,646 delay minutes reported on AS 776.
Cancellations are rare at 0.34%, 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 14.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
Every one of the 292 flights under AS 776 in the data flew SFO to LAS. 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. 292 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 776
For a booking, AS 776 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 14.1% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
