Dallas/Fort Worth to Savannah

What the Data Says About DFW to SAV

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Savannah corridor (DFW → SAV) covers roughly 925 miles and is served by 9 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,402 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 72.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 80.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,067 flights were recorded on this pairing — 54 cancelled (2.6%) and 6 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 9 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,402 total flights analyzed, the 72.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 80.2-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 81% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 48% on-time — a 33-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to SAV route, the combination of a 72.7% on-time rate, 80.2-minute average delay, 2.6% recent cancellation rate, and 9 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
