WN 808 lands a B+, level with the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 45 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 338 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 338 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

Schedule

When WN 808 flies

WN 808 flies OAK to HNL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:55, used on 89 of 338 flights, with 12:35 (70 flights) and 13:40 (58 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 13:55 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and WN 808 runs level with that at 77.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

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 91.3% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 60.9%, a swing of 30 points on roughly 85 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights91.3%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights78.3%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights75.6%
Apr–Jun 202664 flights60.9%

Scale runs 50% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, WN 808 ranged from 70.8% on Saturday to 81.6% on Tuesday. With about 48 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why WN 808 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 3,201 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.

Carrier
43%
Late-arriving aircraft
36%
National Airspace System
20%

36% 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 3,201 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 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 3,201 delay minutes reported on WN 808.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% 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 3.0% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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 one other city pair in the data, including BUR to OAK (27), 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. 338 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

For a booking, read WN 808 as 77.8% on time with 0.00% cancelled over 338 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
