Miami to Tallahassee

What the Data Says About MIA to TLH

The Miami to Tallahassee corridor (MIA → TLH) covers roughly 402 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,014 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 60.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,534 flights were recorded on this pairing — 43 cancelled (1.7%) and 7 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 6,014 total flights analyzed, the 82.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 60.4-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 92% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 63% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MIA to TLH route, the combination of a 82.7% on-time rate, 60.4-minute average delay, 1.7% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
