Allegiant Air at Punta Gorda lands a B+, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That rests on 7,388 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 78.9% 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.

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 34 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am1,382 flights94.0%
- 8am–11am1,362 flights90.2%
- 11am–2pm1,285 flights80.8%
- 2pm–5pm2,006 flights71.6%
- 5pm–8pm942 flights61.6%
- 8pm–5am411 flights60.1%
Scale runs 50% to 100%.
The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 60.1% on time, against 94.0% 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. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 2,006 flights scheduled in it.
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. March was the busiest month here, with 939 flights.

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 3.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 114,778 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations are rare at 0.64%, below the national 1.89% 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.
8.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The sample behind these figures is 7,388 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. 7,311 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
Common questions
Allegiant Air at PGD
How often is Allegiant Air at PGD delayed?
About one flight in five arrives at least 15 minutes late, which is the Department of Transportation's definition of a delayed arrival. That works out to 21.1% of the 7,388 flights in this analysis, against 22.7% 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?
78.9% of flights arrive on time here against a national 77.3%, 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 94.0% on time. The 8pm–5am window is the weakest at 60.1%, 34 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.
