San Francisco to Bend/Redmond

What the Data Says About SFO to RDM

The San Francisco to Bend/Redmond corridor (SFO → RDM) covers roughly 462 miles and is served by 7 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,908 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 79.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,290 flights were recorded on this pairing — 37 cancelled (1.6%) and 7 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 7 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 6,908 total flights analyzed, the 84.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 79.1-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, Apr 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 67% on-time — a 25-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SFO to RDM route, the combination of a 84.8% on-time rate, 79.1-minute average delay, 1.6% recent cancellation rate, and 7 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
