Las Vegas to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About LAS to DFW

The Las Vegas to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (LAS → DFW) covers roughly 1,055 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 32,210 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 93.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 11,772 flights were recorded on this pairing — 261 cancelled (2.2%) and 61 diverted (0.5%). 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 32,210 total flights analyzed, the 80.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 93.1-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 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 87% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 62% on-time — a 25-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAS to DFW route, the combination of a 80.3% on-time rate, 93.1-minute average delay, 2.2% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
