Montgomery to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About MGM to DFW

The Montgomery to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (MGM → DFW) covers roughly 622 miles and is served by 19 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,150 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 78.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 103.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,019 flights were recorded on this pairing — 61 cancelled (3.0%) and 11 diverted (0.5%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 19 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,150 total flights analyzed, the 78.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 103.1-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 66% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MGM to DFW route, the combination of a 78.7% on-time rate, 103.1-minute average delay, 3.0% recent cancellation rate, and 19 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
