These figures cover 296 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

Schedule

When F9 1650 flies

F9 1650 flies LAS to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 00:59, used on 216 of 296 flights, with 00:55 (46 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 00:59 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and F9 1650 runs 10 points better at 80.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

F9 1650 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter F9 1650 held fairly steady: 82.5% in Jul–Sep 2025, 84.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 79.7% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 75.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, F9 1650 did best on Wednesday at 90.0% on time and worst on Monday at 72.0%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why F9 1650 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 55% of the 3,413 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Late-arriving aircraft
55%
Carrier
30%
National Airspace System

55% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,413 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 55 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,413 delay minutes reported on F9 1650.

Cancellations sit at 2.03% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.34%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

6.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. 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 last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 1,055 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

Every one of the 296 flights under F9 1650 in the data flew LAS to DFW. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 296 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.

What to do with this

Booking F9 1650

For a booking, read F9 1650 as 80.3% on time with 2.03% cancelled over 296 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
