Dallas/Fort Worth to Tallahassee

What the Data Says About DFW to TLH

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Tallahassee corridor (DFW → TLH) covers roughly 767 miles and is served by 18 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,703 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 79.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 74.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,178 flights were recorded on this pairing — 48 cancelled (2.2%) and 5 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 18 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,703 total flights analyzed, the 79.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 74.4-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 93% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 56% on-time — a 38-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to TLH route, the combination of a 79.1% on-time rate, 74.4-minute average delay, 2.2% recent cancellation rate, and 18 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
