C+GRADE

Allegiant Air at Sanford sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 8 points worse than the national rate of 77.4%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 10,205 flights, with a median arrival 1 minutes early.

Measured against the airport rather than the country, Allegiant Air runs half a point ahead of the 69.5% weighted average across all carriers at SFB. That is the comparison worth making: every operator here works the same runways, the same airspace and the same weather.

Of 1 carriers clearing the floor at SFB

These figures cover 10,000 flights between June 2025 and May 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Where Allegiant Air flies from SFB

Allegiant Air operates 25 routes out of SFB 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 44 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–8am2,022 flights90.0%
  • 8am–11am1,587 flights87.5%
  • 11am–2pm2,061 flights65.5%
  • 2pm–5pm1,986 flights63.3%
  • 5pm–8pm1,956 flights46.4%
  • 8pm–5am593 flights62.3%

Scale runs 40% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 46.4% on time, against 90.0% 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.

Darker means more delays. Figures are on-time percentages.September best, July worst

July is the worst month at 58.4% on time, 23 points below September, the best at 81.4%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck.

What holds this operation up

Extreme weather accounts for 22% 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 3.6 times the usual weather exposure.

Cancellations are rare at 0.66%, 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.

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.2% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The sample behind these figures is 10,205 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 81.4% on time and July 58.4%, a swing of 23 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of July before you think about anything else.

Common questions

Allegiant Air at SFB

How often is Allegiant Air at SFB delayed?

Roughly one flight in three arrive at least 15 minutes late, which is the Department of Transportation's definition of a delayed arrival. That works out to 30.5% of the 10,205 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 SFB compared with the rest of the country?

69.5% of flights arrive on time here against a national 77.4%, a difference of 8 points against it. That is worth a C+ on this site's grading scale.

What time of day has the fewest delays on Allegiant Air at SFB?

The 5am–8am departure window is the strongest at 90.0% on time. The 5pm–8pm window is the weakest at 46.4%, 44 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 July delays on Allegiant Air at SFB?

July is the weakest month at 58.4% on time, compared with 81.4% in September. Across the year that is 23 points between the best and worst months. Moving flexible dates out of that month is one of the few things that reliably helps.
