Greensboro/High Point to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About GSO to DFW

The Greensboro/High Point to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (GSO → DFW) covers roughly 999 miles and is served by 15 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,997 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 92.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,866 flights were recorded on this pairing — 52 cancelled (2.8%) and 4 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 15 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,997 total flights analyzed, the 81.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 92.7-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 89% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 53% on-time — a 36-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the GSO to DFW route, the combination of a 81.3% on-time rate, 92.7-minute average delay, 2.8% recent cancellation rate, and 15 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
