Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on DFW to LAW carries a cancellation problem, not just a delay problem: 5.7% of scheduled flights never operate, against 1.9% nationally. Of the ones that do fly, close to three flights in four arrive on time, worth a C− overall. The punctuality figure counts only flights that actually departed, so it flatters an operation that cancels this often. That rests on 895 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on DFW to LAW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

- 8am–11am273 flights83.7%
- 11am–2pm—

Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 83.7% of the time, against 68.9% for the evening window. That is 15 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8pm–5am window is the busiest, with 296 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
PSA on DFW to LAW through the year
December is the weak month at 59.3% on time, against 87.2% in January. 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. January was the busiest month here, with 93 flights.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 77.6% on time and Sunday the weakest at 72.3%, a spread of 5 points.

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 24,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%Late-arriving aircraft
- 29%Carrier
- 7%Extreme weather
- 7%National Airspace System
57% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 24,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 to one. The split is drawn from 24,069 reported delay minutes.
The practical consequence: the 8am–11am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 83.7% on time here.
Cancellations run at 5.70%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in twenty cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
13.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
At 140 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 76.3% on time across 895 flights, within 2 points of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 895 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 PSA on DFW to LAW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.70% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you close to two hours; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 839 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
