No public record scores Amsterdam Schiphol to Harry Reid International flight by flight. The US Department of Transportation's on-time database covers domestic flights only, and in Europe only the United Kingdom publishes punctuality by route, so what follows is built from the three measurements that do exist. The DOT's international report counts 536 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about five departures a week in each direction, flown by KLM. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 73.1% of all departures from Amsterdam Schiphol leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 78.3% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 76.9% of LAS's domestic departures arrived on time in the DOT data, which says something about how the airport itself runs, not about this route.
On EUROCONTROL's year-to-date arrival punctuality, Amsterdam Schiphol ranks 11th of the 41 European airports on this site with service to the United States. Bilbao leads that table at 84.3% and Manchester closes it at 65.7%. A long-haul departure inherits the airport's morning: an aircraft that arrived late from its previous sector, or a departure queue built up by weather, delays the transatlantic wave with everything else.

US DOT, last twelve months of domestic departures
Without a route-level record, the useful question is what the two airports do to a schedule. EUROCONTROL attributes 2.8 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Amsterdam Schiphol so far this year; that is delay imposed by the network to hold traffic on the ground elsewhere, not the airline's own. In the DOT data, a delayed domestic departure from LAS ran about an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 0.90% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.
Carrier by carrier
Who flies AMS to LAS
KLM is the only carrier the DOT report shows on AMS to LAS, with 536 flights and an average of 258 passengers aboard each. A single-carrier route gives a delayed passenger no same-day alternative on the same ticket, which is worth knowing before booking a tight onward connection.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| KLM | 536 | 100% | 45 | 258 |

Across the year
How often AMS to LAS flies through the year
The DOT's international report puts 62 flights on the pair in August 2025, the busiest month of the window, and 24 in February 2026, the thinnest. A summer-to-winter swing of that size means the winter schedule is a different operation: fewer frequencies, so a cancellation leaves a longer wait for the next seat.

That makes it the 15th busiest of 22 US routes from Amsterdam Schiphol and the 2nd busiest of 6 European routes into LAS.

The arrival airport
Landing at Harry Reid International
Harry Reid International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 76.9% of its 171,844 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running about an hour late, and 0.90% were cancelled. Those are domestic flights, not this route, but an arriving transatlantic flight shares the same runways, the same weather and the same ground delay programmes, so a bad day at LAS reaches a flight from AMS just as surely. The airport's own page has the hour-by-hour and month-by-month detail, and its live FAA status appears above when the FAA has something to say.

Your rights
EC 261/2004 on AMS to LAS
Every flight that departs Amsterdam Schiphol falls under Regulation (EC) 261/2004, whichever airline flies it and wherever it lands. If it arrives at Harry Reid International three hours or more late, or is cancelled with under 14 days' notice, and the cause was within the airline's control, each passenger is owed €600 (€300 if the airline got you there under four hours late), on top of rebooking and care. Weather, air traffic control restrictions and strikes outside the airline are the usual exemptions. The return flight from LAS is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 5,342 miles, 8,595 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this
Booking AMS to LAS
There is no grade to give AMS to LAS without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about five departures a week in each direction, a single carrier, a departure airport that gets 73% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 77% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at LAS; immigration comes before the connecting flight.
Common questions
AMS to LAS questions
How often are AMS to LAS flights delayed?
No public dataset records delays for this route flight by flight: the US on-time database is domestic only and only the UK publishes route-level punctuality in Europe. The nearest measurements are the departure airport's EUROCONTROL punctuality (73.1% of departures within 15 minutes this year) and LAS's domestic record in the DOT data (76.9% on time).
Which airlines fly AMS to LAS?
KLM. KLM accounted for 100% of the 536 flights the DOT counted on the pair.
Can I claim compensation for a delayed AMS to LAS flight?
Yes, if the flight arrived three hours or more late or was cancelled at short notice for a reason within the airline's control: departures from Amsterdam Schiphol are covered by EC 261/2004 whichever airline operates them. The fixed amount for a sector of this length is €600 a passenger, €300 if the airline got you there under four hours late. The return from LAS is covered only on an EU carrier.
