These figures cover 243 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 11 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.

Delay causes
Why Alaska runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 87% of the 662 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 87%Carrier
- 10%National Airspace System
- 3%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 87%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 576 of the 662 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 662 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.65% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.3% 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 2,348 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 72.1% on time across 243 flights, 23 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 23 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 243 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 OAK to OGG
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 243 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 95.4% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 239 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
