What the Data Says About SFO to SUN

The San Francisco to Sun Valley/Hailey/Ketchum corridor (SFO → SUN) covers roughly 587 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 706 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 87.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 78.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 706 flights were recorded on this pairing — 11 cancelled (1.6%) and 11 diverted (1.6%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 706 total flights analyzed, the 87.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 78.5-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).
