Dallas/Fort Worth to Flagstaff

What the Data Says About DFW to FLG

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Flagstaff corridor (DFW → FLG) covers roughly 853 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,100 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 83.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 877 flights were recorded on this pairing — 15 cancelled (1.7%) and 4 diverted (0.5%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,100 total flights analyzed, the 80.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 83.7-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 76% on-time, while Dec 2024 came in at 65% on-time — a 12-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to FLG route, the combination of a 80.9% on-time rate, 83.7-minute average delay, 1.7% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
