Savannah to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About SAV to DFW

The Savannah to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (SAV → DFW) covers roughly 925 miles and is served by 10 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,403 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 77.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 88.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,068 flights were recorded on this pairing — 59 cancelled (2.9%) and 9 diverted (0.4%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 10 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,403 total flights analyzed, the 77.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 88.6-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 May 2024 came in at 57% on-time — a 38-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SAV to DFW route, the combination of a 77.8% on-time rate, 88.6-minute average delay, 2.9% recent cancellation rate, and 10 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
