Lubbock to Dallas

What the Data Says About LBB to DAL

The Lubbock to Dallas corridor (LBB → DAL) covers roughly 293 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 8,915 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.5% on-time rate with an average delay of 65.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,217 flights were recorded on this pairing — 41 cancelled (1.3%) and 12 diverted (0.4%). 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 8,915 total flights analyzed, the 86.5% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 65.9-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, Jan 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 78% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LBB to DAL route, the combination of a 86.5% on-time rate, 65.9-minute average delay, 1.3% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
