Every carrier on MLU to DFW, 1,166 flights
These figures cover 1,035 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

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 15 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am319 flights86.9%
- 11am–2pm103 flights79.6%

Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 2pm–5pm slot at 94.1% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 79.4%. 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 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 357 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 44% of the 16,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Carrier
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
34% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 16,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one. The split is drawn from 15,688 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 44%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 6,933 of the 16,000 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations sit at 2.42% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.29%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
5.8% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 293 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 2pm–5pm window matters as much as it does.
The return leg runs 87.0% on time across 1,035 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. 1,035 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 MLU to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 1,035 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 85.6% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 1,007 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
