PSA on DFW to MLI lands a B−, level with the national rate of 77.3%. Roughly one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That rests on 293 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on DFW to MLI from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Departure window
When PSA 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.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 79.4% on time, ahead of 8pm–5am at 68.2%. Where the curve peaks mid-day rather than at dawn, the constraint is usually congestion at one end rather than the aircraft's own rotation. The 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 198 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 66% of the 4,518 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 66%Late-arriving aircraft
- 29%Carrier
- 3%Extreme weather
- 2%National Airspace System
66% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,518 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 19 to one. The split is drawn from 4,518 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 4.44%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 25 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
10.4% 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.
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 76.3% on time across 293 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.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 293 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 MLI
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.44% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 11am–2pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 278 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
