Dallas/Fort Worth to Stillwater

What the Data Says About DFW to SWO

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Stillwater corridor (DFW → SWO) covers roughly 225 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,996 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 82.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,459 flights were recorded on this pairing — 44 cancelled (3.0%) and 2 diverted (0.1%). 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 3,996 total flights analyzed, the 86.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 82.6-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 53% on-time — a 43-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to SWO route, the combination of a 86.4% on-time rate, 82.6-minute average delay, 3.0% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
