Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 87.4% of the time, against 76.6% for the afternoon 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 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 107 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 48% of the 4,274 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Carrier
- 25%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%National Airspace System
- 10%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,045 of the 4,274 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,274 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 5.69%, 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
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.
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 is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 80.3% on time across 211 flights, 4 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 4 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 211 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 HRL to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.69% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about 2.2 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. 198 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
