Monroe to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About MLU to DFW

The Monroe to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (MLU → DFW) covers roughly 293 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,280 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 91.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,242 flights were recorded on this pairing — 56 cancelled (2.5%) and 1 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 6,280 total flights analyzed, the 83.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 91.2-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, Aug 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 69% on-time — a 24-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MLU to DFW route, the combination of a 83.8% on-time rate, 91.2-minute average delay, 2.5% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
