LAS across all twelve months

These figures cover 12,886 departures from Harry Reid International in February 2026. On time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the DOT's threshold, and the national comparison uses every US departure in the same month rather than the whole year.

Against the year

February next to LAS's other months

Against LAS's own year, February ran 5 points better than the twelve-month rate of 77.9%, which makes it number two of twelve months, best first. Either side of it, January ran 83.1% on time and March 78.3%, so a trip moved by a few weeks would have landed in a worse stretch.

Departure window

The best time of day to leave LAS in February

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 19 points, against 9 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.

5am–8am2,028 flights93.2%
8am–11am2,755 flights86.4%
11am–2pm2,231 flights82.5%
2pm–5pm2,249 flights78.8%
5pm–8pm1,956 flights74.4%
8pm–5am1,667 flights82.3%

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

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 93.2% of the time, against 74.4% for the evening window. That is 19 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 2,755 flights scheduled in it.

Across the week, Saturday is the strongest day at 89.9% on time and Monday the weakest at 77.9%. 12 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.

Carrier by carrier

Which airlines ran best at LAS in February

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Allegiant Air arrives on time 89.4% of the time; Southwest Airlines manages 80.0%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 6,451 flights means less than a ten-point one.

Delay causes

What held LAS up in February

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 125,000 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

37%
National Airspace System

Extreme weather

Security
0%

44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 125,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 14 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 124,622 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations are rare at 0.88%, below the national 2.25% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.6% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 6.5% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
