OGG across all twelve months

Against the year

October next to OGG's other months

Against OGG's own year, October ran 2 points better than the twelve-month rate of 83.0%, which makes it number six of twelve months, best first. Either side of it, September ran 91.1% on time and November 84.6%, so a trip moved by a few weeks would have landed in a better stretch.

Departure window

The best time of day to leave OGG in October

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 15 points, against 14 points between the best and worst carrier.

5am–8am173 flights94.8%
8am–11am346 flights86.3%
11am–2pm673 flights80.3%
2pm–5pm288 flights84.2%
5pm–8pm257 flights89.9%
8pm–5am317 flights87.7%

Scale runs 70% to 100%.

The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 80.3% on time against 94.8% for 5am–8am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 673 flights scheduled in it.

Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 88.8% on time and Thursday the weakest at 79.2%, a spread of 10 points.

Carrier by carrier

Which airlines ran best at OGG in October

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Southwest Airlines arrives on time 94.7% of the time; Hawaiian Airlines manages 81.0%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 1,097 flights means less than a ten-point one.

The spread between Southwest and Hawaiian is 14 points, wide enough that it should decide the booking. On a hundred trips that is 14 more arrivals inside the on-time window.

Delay causes

What held OGG up in October

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 16,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

48% 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 48 to one. The split is drawn from 16,093 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 0.97% against a national 0.53%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.05%.

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 6.3% 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.
