Every carrier on LAS to OGG, 736 flights

These figures cover 185 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. On-time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the same threshold the Department of Transportation uses in its own reports. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and counted separately, which is why the cancellation column matters on its own.

Carrier by carrier

Hawaiian against every carrier on LAS to OGG

Hawaiian flew 185 of the 736 flights on LAS to OGG, about 25% of it. Its 70.9% on time is 11 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 81.8%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Southwest at 87.8% to Hawaiian at 70.9%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.

Only one carrier clears this site's 365-flight floor here, so there is no comparison to draw. The table below is the full picture.

Departure window

When Hawaiian runs best on this route

Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 185 flights.

  • 5am–8am79 flights75.6%
  • 8am–11am106 flights67.3%
  • 11am–2pm
  • 2pm–5pm
  • 5pm–8pm
  • 8pm–5am

Scale runs 60% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 75.6% of the time, against 67.3% for the morning window. That is 8 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 106 flights scheduled in it.

Across the year

Hawaiian on LAS to OGG through the year

  • Jul–Sep 202593 flights69.6%
  • Oct–Dec 202592 flights72.2%

Scale runs 60% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 70.9% on time across 185 flights.

Split by quarter, Hawaiian on LAS to OGG logged 93 flights in Jul–Sep 2025 and 92 flights in Oct–Dec 2025. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 70.9% annual figure is the one to use.

Delay causes

Why Hawaiian runs late on this route

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 80% of the 4,686 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
    80%
  • Late-arriving aircraft
    15%
  • Extreme weather
    4%
  • National Airspace System
    1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 80%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 3,764 of the 4,686 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,686 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 1.62% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

6.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 2,695 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 return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 78.1% on time across 184 flights, 7 points above this direction. Departure banks, aircraft rotations and the congestion at each end all differ, so scoring the two directions together would average away a real 7 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 185 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 Hawaiian on LAS to OGG

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 185 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor and not enough to be confident to better than a couple of points. The 70.9% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 182 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
