MSP to DAL questions
Is MSP–DAL running on time right now?
Some delays possible. The arrival side at DAL is the weaker end, route health score 54/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from MSP to DAL?
Great-circle distance is 1,374 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 127–148 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MSP–DAL fly?
Southwest Airlines runs the route with about 2 flights a week (sun). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at MSP and arrival-side delay at DAL, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
