Washington to Augusta

What the Data Says About DCA to AGS

The Washington to Augusta corridor (DCA → AGS) covers roughly 468 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,280 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 73.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 82.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 778 flights were recorded on this pairing — 42 cancelled (5.4%) and 2 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 6 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,280 total flights analyzed, the 73.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 82.8-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the DCA to AGS route, the combination of a 73.8% on-time rate, 82.8-minute average delay, 5.4% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
