These figures cover 304 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Across the year
WN 808 quarter by quarter
WN 808 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 90.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 60.9%, a swing of 29 points on roughly 76 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Share of 304 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 77 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 29 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 24 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at HNL.
The worst days
Worst days for WN 808
The latest arrival of the period was on 15 March 2026, 5 hours 31 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 15 March 2026 | 5 hours 31 minutes | Carrier |
| 4 January 2026 | 4 hours 16 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 3 October 2025 | 2 hours 50 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 June 2026 | 2 hours 7 minutes | None reported |
| 6 May 2026 | 2 hours 4 minutes | Carrier |
Delay causes
Why WN 808 runs late
Carrier accounts for 43% of the 3,076 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%Carrier
- 38%Late-arriving aircraft
- 19%National Airspace System
38% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,076 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 38 to one. The split is drawn from 3,076 delay minutes reported on WN 808.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
At 2,409 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including BUR to OAK (55) and DEN to OAK (1), but none flew often enough under WN 808 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to OAK to HNL only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 304 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
Booking WN 808
