No public record scores Dublin to Miami International flight by flight. The US Department of Transportation's on-time database covers domestic flights only, and in Europe only the United Kingdom publishes punctuality by route, so what follows is built from the three measurements that do exist. The DOT's international report counts 130 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, roughly a weekly round trip, flown by Aer Lingus. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 75.7% of all departures from Dublin leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 73.7% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 74.2% of MIA's domestic departures arrived on time in the DOT data, which says something about how the airport itself runs, not about this route.
On EUROCONTROL's year-to-date arrival punctuality, Dublin ranks 34th of the 41 European airports on this site with service to the United States. Bilbao leads that table at 84.3% and Manchester closes it at 65.7%. A long-haul departure inherits the airport's morning: an aircraft that arrived late from its previous sector, or a departure queue built up by weather, delays the transatlantic wave with everything else.

US DOT, last twelve months of domestic departures
Without a route-level record, the useful question is what the two airports do to a schedule. EUROCONTROL attributes 0.3 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Dublin so far this year; that is delay imposed by the network to hold traffic on the ground elsewhere, not the airline's own. In the DOT data, a delayed domestic departure from MIA ran a little over an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 1.64% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.
Carrier by carrier
Who flies DUB to MIA
Aer Lingus is the only carrier the DOT report shows on DUB to MIA, with 130 flights and an average of 224 passengers aboard each. A single-carrier route gives a delayed passenger no same-day alternative on the same ticket, which is worth knowing before booking a tight onward connection.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aer Lingus | 130 | 100% | 11 | 224 |
DOT international report, July 2025 to June 2026; flights in both directions together. No delay figures exist for this pair in any public source.
Across the year
How often DUB to MIA flies through the year
The DOT's international report puts 26 flights on the pair in November 2025, the busiest month of the window, and 0 in June 2026, the thinnest. A summer-to-winter swing of that size means the winter schedule is a different operation: fewer frequencies, so a cancellation leaves a longer wait for the next seat.

The DOT's international report counts flights in both directions together: 130 between DUB and MIA from July 2025 to June 2026, roughly a weekly round trip, carrying 29,145 passengers. That makes it the 22nd busiest of 23 US routes from Dublin and the 17th busiest of 18 European routes into MIA.

The arrival airport
Landing at Miami International
Miami International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 74.2% of its 111,132 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running a little over an hour late, and 1.64% were cancelled. Those are domestic flights, not this route, but an arriving transatlantic flight shares the same runways, the same weather and the same ground delay programmes, so a bad day at MIA reaches a flight from DUB just as surely. The airport's own page has the hour-by-hour and month-by-month detail, and its live FAA status appears above when the FAA has something to say.

Your rights
EC 261/2004 on DUB to MIA
Every flight that departs Dublin falls under Regulation (EC) 261/2004, whichever airline flies it and wherever it lands. If it arrives at Miami International three hours or more late, or is cancelled with under 14 days' notice, and the cause was within the airline's control, each passenger is owed €600 (€300 if the airline got you there under four hours late), on top of rebooking and care. Weather, air traffic control restrictions and strikes outside the airline are the usual exemptions. The return flight from MIA is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 4,159 miles, 6,692 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this
Booking DUB to MIA
There is no grade to give DUB to MIA without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: roughly a weekly round trip, a single carrier, a departure airport that gets 76% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 74% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at MIA; immigration comes before the connecting flight.
Common questions
DUB to MIA questions
How often are DUB to MIA flights delayed?
No public dataset records delays for this route flight by flight: the US on-time database is domestic only and only the UK publishes route-level punctuality in Europe. The nearest measurements are the departure airport's EUROCONTROL punctuality (75.7% of departures within 15 minutes this year) and MIA's domestic record in the DOT data (74.2% on time).
Which airlines fly DUB to MIA?
Aer Lingus. Aer Lingus accounted for 100% of the 130 flights the DOT counted on the pair.
Can I claim compensation for a delayed DUB to MIA flight?
Yes, if the flight arrived three hours or more late or was cancelled at short notice for a reason within the airline's control: departures from Dublin are covered by EC 261/2004 whichever airline operates them. The fixed amount for a sector of this length is €600 a passenger, €300 if the airline got you there under four hours late. The return from MIA is covered only on an EU carrier.
