These figures cover 653 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 JAN to DFW

Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 82.2% to PSA at 76.3%. One 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 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 21 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

5am–8am197 flights88.1%
8am–11am26 flights—
11am–2pm35 flights94.1%
2pm–5pm78 flights80.0%
5pm–8pm243 flights73.1%
8pm–5am74 flights87.7%

Scale runs 65% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 94.1% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 73.1%. 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 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 243 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes

Why Envoy runs late on this route

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 7,453 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Extreme weather accounts for 19% 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 3.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,453 reported delay minutes.

47% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,453 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 to one.

Cancellations sit at 2.30% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

6.8% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 408 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 11am–2pm window matters as much as it does.

The return leg runs 80.2% on time across 654 flights, within 2 points 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. 653 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 JAN to DFW

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 653 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 82.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 636 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
