Dallas/Fort Worth to Idaho Falls

What the Data Says About DFW to IDA

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Idaho Falls corridor (DFW → IDA) covers roughly 1,095 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,612 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 78.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,095 flights were recorded on this pairing — 17 cancelled (1.6%) and 6 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 2,612 total flights analyzed, the 76.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 78.0-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, Aug 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 85% on-time, while Oct 2025 came in at 63% on-time — a 23-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to IDA route, the combination of a 76.2% on-time rate, 78.0-minute average delay, 1.6% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
