These figures cover 299 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 3 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.

13 of 62 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 21% of them. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at SEA.

The latest arrival of the period was on 13 February 2026, 8 hours 16 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 13 February 2026 | 8 hours 16 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 13 March 2026 | 3 hours 40 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 1 August 2026 | 2 hours 36 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why OO 3294 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 68% of the 3,406 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 68%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%National Airspace System
- 12%Extreme weather
- 7%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 12% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,406 delay minutes reported on OO 3294.
Cancellations run at 3.01%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.5% 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.
OO 3294 is not only a BLI to SEA flight. It also flew SEA to BLI (298 flights, 79.3% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 299 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.
