Departure window

The best time of day to leave OGG in April

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 16 points, against 18 points between the best and worst carrier.

5am–8am148 flights89.8%
8am–11am294 flights83.6%
11am–2pm617 flights76.8%
2pm–5pm370 flights74.5%
5pm–8pm250 flights82.3%
8pm–5am476 flights90.7%

Scale runs 65% to 95%.

The overnight block holds up unusually well at 90.7% on time across 476 flights. Red-eyes fly into empty airspace and empty gates, and they are the first rotation of the aircraft's day rather than the last. The 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 617 flights scheduled in it.

Across the week, Monday is the strongest day at 86.9% on time and Thursday the weakest at 72.8%, a spread of 14 points.

Carrier by carrier

Which airlines ran best at OGG in April

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Southwest Airlines arrives on time 92.9% of the time; Alaska Airlines manages 74.5%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 1,271 flights means less than a ten-point one.

Delay causes

What held OGG up in April

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 18,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Late-arriving aircraft
46%
Carrier
42%
National Airspace System
8%
Extreme weather
3%

46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 18,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 16 to one. The split is drawn from 17,622 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations are rare at 0.37%, below the national 0.90% 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 2.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 6.4% 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.
