Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Alaska Airlines.

Alaska on OGG to LAS earns a B+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 181 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, Alaska's OGG to LAS record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 71 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

Every carrier on OGG to LAS, 735 flights

These figures cover 181 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 5 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.

Carrier by carrier

Alaska against every carrier on OGG to LAS

Alaska flew 181 of the 735 flights on OGG to LAS, about 25% of it. Its 84.7% on time is 4 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 89.1%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Southwest at 96.7% to Hawaiian at 78.1%. 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 Alaska 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 181 flights.

  • 5am–8am
  • 8am–11am52 flights85.7%
  • 11am–2pm129 flights84.4%
  • 2pm–5pm
  • 5pm–8pm
  • 8pm–5am

Scale runs 75% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The 8am–11am window is the strongest at 85.7% on time. The full set of windows spans about a point.

Across the year

Alaska on OGG to LAS through the year

  • Jan–Mar 202690 flights80.5%
  • Apr–Jun 202691 flights88.9%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. 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 84.7% on time across 181 flights.

Split by quarter, Alaska on OGG to LAS logged 90 flights in Jan–Mar 2026 and 91 flights in Apr–Jun 2026. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 84.7% annual figure is the one to use.

Delay causes

Why Alaska runs late on this route

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 63% of the 1,986 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
    63%
  • Late-arriving aircraft
    19%
  • Extreme weather
    15%
  • National Airspace System
    3%

Extreme weather accounts for 15% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the monthly strip above is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,986 reported delay minutes.

The largest share of delay minutes, 63%, 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 1,247 of the 1,986 delay minutes reported here.

Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.5% 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 2,695 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 80.4% on time across 181 flights, 4 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 4 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 181 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 OGG to LAS

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 181 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 84.7% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 177 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
