These figures cover 1,269 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

Carrier by carrier
Envoy against every carrier on DFW to HRL
Envoy flew 1,269 of the 1,480 flights on DFW to HRL, most of the route. Its 86.2% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 85.4%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 86.2% to PSA at 80.3%.

Departure window
When Envoy runs best on this route
Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 1,269 flights.

Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 90.5% of the time, against 81.7% for the afternoon window. That is 9 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 384 flights scheduled in it.

The latest arrival of the period was on 14 June 2026, 8 hours 32 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 14 June 2026 | 8 hours 32 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 June 2026 | 5 hours 4 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 9,687 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%Carrier
- 20%National Airspace System
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 9,687 reported delay minutes.
44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,687 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one.
Cancellations sit at 2.21% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.16%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.0% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
At 461 miles this is a short hop, and stage length matters more than it looks. A flight this short spends under two hours in the air, which leaves almost nothing to claw back a late pushback with. Delay here is decided on the ground, in the turn, which is why the 8am–11am window matters as much as it does.
The return leg runs 87.3% on time across 1,269 flights, within about a point of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.
The sample behind these figures is 1,269 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.
What to do with this
Booking Envoy on DFW to HRL
Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. February runs 96.8% on time and June 77.9%, a swing of 19 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of June before you think about anything else. 1,239 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
