Tallahassee to Atlanta

What the Data Says About TLH to ATL

The Tallahassee to Atlanta corridor (TLH → ATL) covers roughly 223 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 10,422 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 90.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 88.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,588 flights were recorded on this pairing — 51 cancelled (1.4%) and 3 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 11 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 10,422 total flights analyzed, the 90.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 88.9-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, Sep 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 74% on-time — a 19-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the TLH to ATL route, the combination of a 90.2% on-time rate, 88.9-minute average delay, 1.4% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
