Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA884 | 56.9% | 3.34% | 7 min | 15.3% | 628 |
| American Airlines on DFW → LAS | 66.0% | 2.27% | 1 min | 13.0% | 12,745 |
| All DFW → LAS flights | 68.6% | 1.99% | -1 min | 11.9% | 18,081 |
AA884 has cancelled 3.34% of its scheduled departures (21 of 628), against 1.99% for all DFW → LAS flights — this specific departure cancels 1.4 percentage points more often than the route as a whole. Different flight numbers on the same route can carry different aircraft, crews and schedules, so this is a fact about AA884 specifically, not about the route it flies.
15.3% of AA884’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 11.9% across DFW → LAS, so the long delays are more common on this number than on the route.

Why AA884 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA884 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA884 pushed back an average of 48 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 10 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 540 of 607 departures. Unknown, cancelled or diverted inbounds and gaps over 12 hours are left out.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late | Left 15+ late after a late inbound | Left 15+ late after an on-time inbound |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA884 | 29% | 75% | 24% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 69% | 9% |
72 scheduled minutes is enough to clean and board when the aircraft is on time, with little to spare when it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often AA884’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA884 left 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches LAS?
AA884 pushes back an average of 27.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at LAS an average of 23.9 minutes late. The 3.8 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. Its 18.6 minutes on the taxiways at DFW is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at LAS, AA884 spends 7.8 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is about what any arrival at LAS spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 61,198 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 583,484 arrivals at LAS. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DFW
AA884 has one departure time, 6:55 PM, so this is what that hour at DFW is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 61,198 departures from DFW are scheduled in the 6 PM–7 PM hour over the period, against 989,065 across the whole day.
AA884 is scheduled out of DFW at 6:55 PM, in the 6 PM–7 PM bank. Departures from DFW in that hour arrive on time 64.2% of the time against 73.1% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 8.9 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from DFW, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
78 min late
against a median of 7 min late
AA884 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 7 min late, but the worst tenth are 71 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 628 records of AA884 operating DFW → LAS, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule; cancelled and diverted flights are reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
