These figures cover 665 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 11 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.

Departure window
When Envoy runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 11 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am273 flights93.6%
- 11am–2pm—

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 93.6% of the time, against 82.9% for the overnight window. That is 11 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 273 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on DFW to MLI through the year
January is the weak month at 78.9% on time, against 100.0% in December. 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. August was the busiest month here, with 93 flights.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 92.1% on time and Wednesday the weakest at 84.6%, a spread of 8 points.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 June 2026 | 4 hours 16 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 12 July 2026 | 3 hours 34 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 25 January 2026 | 3 hours 33 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 4,379 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%National Airspace System
- 18%Carrier
- 10%Extreme weather
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,379 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. The split is drawn from 4,379 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 93.6% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 1.80% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.15%.
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.
The 691 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.
The return leg runs 88.2% on time across 662 flights, within half a point 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. 665 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 Envoy on DFW to MLI
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 665 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor and not enough to be confident to better than a couple of points. The 87.9% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 652 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
