San Francisco to Bozeman

What the Data Says About SFO to BZN

The San Francisco to Bozeman corridor (SFO → BZN) covers roughly 807 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,104 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 61.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 810 flights were recorded on this pairing — 3 cancelled (0.4%) and 6 diverted (0.7%). 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 2,104 total flights analyzed, the 81.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 61.5-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the SFO to BZN route, the combination of a 81.7% on-time rate, 61.5-minute average delay, 0.4% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
