Allegiant Air at Punta Gorda lands a B+, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.4%. About one flight in five arrive 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 7,435 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
Measured against the airport rather than the country, Allegiant Air runs half a point ahead of the 79.3% weighted average across all carriers at PGD. That is the comparison worth making: every operator here works the same runways, the same airspace and the same weather.

#1
Of 1 carriers clearing the floor at PGD
These figures cover 7,435 flights between June 2025 and May 2026. The median arrival is 8 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Route by route
Where Allegiant Air flies from PGD
Allegiant Air operates 25 routes out of PGD with enough volume to report. Route records inside one carrier at one airport still spread widely, because a short shuttle and a transcontinental have very different exposure to a late inbound.

Departure window
Best time of day for this operation
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 37 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am1,350 flights94.8%
- 8am–11am1,485 flights89.8%
- 11am–2pm1,289 flights80.6%
- 2pm–5pm1,972 flights72.7%
- 5pm–8pm964 flights61.3%
- 8pm–5am375 flights57.8%
Scale runs 50% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 57.8% on time, against 94.8% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in.
Across the year
Seasonal pattern
December is the weak month at 71.6% on time, against 87.9% in September. Winter delays cluster: a single storm system can account for most of a month's shortfall, so an average December hides both very good weeks and genuinely unflyable days.
Delay causes
What holds this operation up
- 37%Late-arriving aircraft
- 26%Carrier
- 20%Extreme weather
- 17%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 20% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the monthly strip above is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.3 times the usual weather exposure.
Cancellations are rare at 0.65%, below the national 1.80% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
7.7% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.2%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route are the a little over an hour kind, which a normal layover absorbs.
The sample behind these figures is 7,435 flights, enough that the headline rate is stable to within roughly a point. The hour-block and month splits divide that further, so read the thinner bars with more caution than the headline.
Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. September runs 87.9% on time and December 71.6%, a swing of 16 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of December before you think about anything else.
Common questions
Allegiant Air at PGD
How often is Allegiant Air at PGD delayed?
About one flight in five arrive at least 15 minutes late, which is the Department of Transportation's definition of a delayed arrival. That works out to 20.7% of the 7,435 flights in this analysis, against 22.6% nationally. Delayed flights are late by a little over an hour on average.
How reliable is Allegiant Air at PGD compared with the rest of the country?
79.3% of flights arrive on time here against a national 77.4%, a difference of 2 points in its favour. That is worth a B+ on this site's grading scale.
What time of day has the fewest delays on Allegiant Air at PGD?
The 5am–8am departure window is the strongest at 94.8% on time. The 8pm–5am window is the weakest at 57.8%, 37 points behind. Later departures inherit delays from earlier flights the same aircraft has already flown, which is why the curve slopes the way it does.
How bad are December delays on Allegiant Air at PGD?
December is the weakest month at 71.6% on time, compared with 87.9% in September. Across the year that is 16 points between the best and worst months. Moving flexible dates out of that month is one of the few things that reliably helps.
