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 HRL to DFW
Envoy flew 1,269 of the 1,480 flights on HRL to DFW, most of the route. Its 87.3% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 86.8%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 87.3% to PSA at 83.8%.

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 91.4% of the time, against 78.8% for the evening window. That is 13 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 310 flights scheduled in it.

| 12 July 2026 | 14 hours 25 minutes | Carrier |
| 13 July 2026 | 13 hours 28 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 15,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%National Airspace System
- 20%Carrier
- 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 15,338 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 15,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one.
Cancellations sit at 2.13% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.24%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
6.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
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 5am–8am window matters as much as it does.
The return leg runs 86.2% 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 HRL to DFW
Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. February runs 94.7% on time and July 81.5%, a swing of 13 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of July before you think about anything else. 1,239 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
