Some delays possible. The departure side at SFO is the weaker end, route health score 62/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Great-circle distance is 2,370 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 197–233 min gate-to-gate on this route.
Southwest Airlines runs the route with about 6 flights a week (sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
A blend of departure-side delay at SFO 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.
