Every carrier on LAX to OGG, 2,170 flights

These figures cover 376 flights between September 2025 and August 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

Alaska against every carrier on LAX to OGG

Alaska flew 376 of the 2,170 flights on LAX to OGG, about 17% of it. Its 73.9% on time is 8 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 81.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of six carriers on the route, where the range runs from United at 86.5% to Alaska at 73.9%. Two of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. United Airlines arrives on time 86.5% of the time; American Airlines manages 78.9%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 580 flights means less than a ten-point one.

United leads American by 8 points. Real, but small enough that a better departure time on the weaker carrier can outweigh it.

Departure window

When Alaska runs best on this route

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 16 points, against 8 points between the best and worst carrier.

8am–11am341 flights72.3%
11am–2pm—
2pm–5pm35 flights88.6%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 2pm–5pm slot at 88.6% on time, ahead of 8am–11am at 72.3%. Where the curve peaks mid-day rather than at dawn, the constraint is usually congestion at one end rather than the aircraft's own rotation. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 341 flights scheduled in it.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 73.9% on time across 376 flights.

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.

Delay causes

Why Alaska runs late on this route

Carrier accounts for 59% of the 4,319 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

National Airspace System

The largest share of delay minutes, 59%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,565 of the 4,319 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,319 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 1.06% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.27%.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.6% 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 2,485 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 63.2% on time across 376 flights, 11 points below 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 11 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 376 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 Alaska on LAX to OGG

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 376 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 73.9% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 371 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
