What the Data Says About FLG to DFW

The Flagstaff to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (FLG → DFW) covers roughly 853 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,043 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 115.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 877 flights were recorded on this pairing — 12 cancelled (1.4%) and 6 diverted (0.7%). 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 3,043 total flights analyzed, the 81.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 115.8-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, Dec 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 78% on-time, while Oct 2025 came in at 75% on-time — a 3-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the FLG to DFW route, the combination of a 81.8% on-time rate, 115.8-minute average delay, 1.4% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
