Dallas/Fort Worth to Bozeman

What the Data Says About DFW to BZN

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Bozeman corridor (DFW → BZN) covers roughly 1,163 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,583 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 68.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,424 flights were recorded on this pairing — 12 cancelled (0.8%) and 7 diverted (0.5%). 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 3,583 total flights analyzed, the 76.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 68.6-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 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 88% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 57% on-time — a 31-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to BZN route, the combination of a 76.8% on-time rate, 68.6-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
