These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 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.
Schedule
When OO 3894 flies
OO 3894 flies LAX to PHX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:00, used on 97 of 365 flights, with 14:19 (57 flights) and 14:30 (38 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 14:00 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 3894 runs 16 points better at 88.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
OO 3894 quarter by quarter
OO 3894 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 94.5% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 82.2%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 91 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights94.5%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights85.9%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights82.2%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights91.2%
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, OO 3894 did best on Tuesday at 94.3% on time and worst on Saturday at 78.8%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 3894 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 67% of the 2,713 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.
- 67%Carrier
- 20%National Airspace System
- 13%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,713 delay minutes reported on OO 3894.
Cancellations are rare at 0.27%, 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 3.6% 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.
OO 3894 is not only a LAX to PHX flight. It also flew PHX to LAX (303 flights, 87.1% 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. 365 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.
