Stillwater to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About SWO to DFW

The Stillwater to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (SWO → DFW) covers roughly 225 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,992 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 108.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,459 flights were recorded on this pairing — 42 cancelled (2.9%) and 4 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 6 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,992 total flights analyzed, the 86.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 108.0-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, Mar 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Apr 2025 came in at 67% on-time — a 28-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SWO to DFW route, the combination of a 86.7% on-time rate, 108.0-minute average delay, 2.9% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
