Airline ON TIME Schedules
 
Does anyone know where online, if at all, I can locate the schedules for how often certain flights are on time and late for DELTA and American airlines please? All I see on there is "flight schedules", but nothing about "on time percentages" or things of that nature. Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for. I think they report monthly percentages, but anyway...

www.flightstats.com will give you the info.

You can also find raw data from www.bts.gov

For specific flight on specific date in the past, www.flightaware.com

AmySabato -
That was a google search result. Not sure it was what you were looking for - but worth a shot.
I was surprised to see how close the percentages are.

Stats don't tell the whole story. I stopped flying Continental years ago because they wanted to be #1 in on time departures. They would push the plane back with folks still standing in line with boarding passes. No kidding. The stats (and resulting advertisements) were more important that loading paying customers.

Years later I found the guy in charge of the Atlanta operations running a B&B (after Continental crashed as a company). He was so proud of his plaque. Boy did he get an earful from me. :-)

On MSNBC, the other day, a travel expert said that not too many people knew this but that the above site was great for people to be able to find out if the flight they were taking had been late in the past, and if so, by how much. I had never heard of it, but had looked for something like this in the past. I will check it out now too.
