Bozeman to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About BZN to DFW

The Bozeman to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (BZN → DFW) covers roughly 1,163 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,585 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 77.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 105.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,424 flights were recorded on this pairing — 13 cancelled (0.9%) and 10 diverted (0.7%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,585 total flights analyzed, the 77.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 105.9-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Looking at recent months, Sep 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Jan 2025 came in at 60% on-time — a 34-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BZN to DFW route, the combination of a 77.6% on-time rate, 105.9-minute average delay, 0.9% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
