Roswell to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About ROW to DFW

The Roswell to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (ROW → DFW) covers roughly 435 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,058 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82% on-time rate with an average delay of 114.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,911 flights were recorded on this pairing — 60 cancelled (3.1%) and 4 diverted (0.2%). 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 5,058 total flights analyzed, the 82% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 114.1-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 89% on-time, while Nov 2024 came in at 69% on-time — a 20-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ROW to DFW route, the combination of a 82% on-time rate, 114.1-minute average delay, 3.1% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
