Key West to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About EYW to DFW

The Key West to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (EYW → DFW) covers roughly 1,089 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,460 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 67.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 97.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 985 flights were recorded on this pairing — 20 cancelled (2.0%) and 17 diverted (1.7%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,460 total flights analyzed, the 67.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 97.5-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, Apr 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 72% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 31% on-time — a 41-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the EYW to DFW route, the combination of a 67.8% on-time rate, 97.5-minute average delay, 2.0% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
