American on GSP to DFW sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 3 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land close to two hours behind schedule. That rests on 726 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 American on GSP to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Carrier by carrier
American against every carrier on GSP to DFW
American flew 726 of the 1,175 flights on GSP to DFW, most of the route. Its 74.4% on time is 2 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 76.4%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from PSA at 80.1% to American at 74.4%. Two of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
Only one carrier clears this site's 365-flight floor here, so there is no comparison to draw. The table below is the full picture.

Departure window
When American runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 22 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm—

Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 61.4% on time, against 83.0% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 364 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
American on GSP to DFW through the year
July is the worst month at 65.0% on time, 18 points below November, the best at 82.5%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. October was the busiest month here, with 63 flights.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 78.4% on time and Monday the weakest at 66.7%, a spread of 12 points.

Share of 699 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
56 of 195 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 29% of them. In the other direction, 40 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at DFW.
The worst days
Worst days for American on GSP to DFW
The latest arrival of the period was on 26 August 2026, 34 hours 42 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 26 August 2026 | 34 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 May 2026 | 22 hours 42 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 23 February 2026 | 11 hours 18 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why American runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 43% of the 19,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%Carrier
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 10%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
42% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 19,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 18,626 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 43%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 7,959 of the 19,000 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations run at 3.31%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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
10.6% 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 862 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 is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 66.3% on time across 726 flights, 8 points below this direction. Departure banks, aircraft rotations and the congestion at each end all differ, so scoring the two directions together would average away a real 8 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 726 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 American on GSP to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.31% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you close to two hours; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 5am–8am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 699 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
