What the Data Says About TUL to DAL

The Tulsa to Dallas corridor (TUL → DAL) covers roughly 238 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,718 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 60.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,166 flights were recorded on this pairing — 24 cancelled (1.1%) and 4 diverted (0.2%). 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 6,718 total flights analyzed, the 86.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 60.7-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 69% on-time — a 26-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the TUL to DAL route, the combination of a 86.8% on-time rate, 60.7-minute average delay, 1.1% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
