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 OGG to LAX
Alaska flew 376 of the 2,169 flights on OGG to LAX, about 17% of it. Its 63.2% on time is 17 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 80.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number four of six carriers on the route, where the range runs from United at 91.5% to Southwest at 40.0%. 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 91.5% of the time; Delta Air Lines manages 82.7%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 505 flights means less than a ten-point one.

United leads Delta by 9 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 36 points, against 9 points between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm98 flights58.8%
- 2pm–5pm243 flights60.5%
- 5pm–8pm—
- 8pm–5am35 flights94.3%
Scale runs 50% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 58.8% on time against 94.3% for 8pm–5am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 243 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 63.2% on time across 376 flights.
Alaska on OGG to LAX did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 74.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 52.3%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 125 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.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 73.1% on time and Monday the weakest at 56.6%, a spread of 16 points.

Share of 370 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
17 of 103 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 17% of them. In the other direction, 50 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LAX.
The worst days
Worst days for Alaska on OGG to LAX
The latest arrival of the period was on 23 June 2026, 8 hours 39 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 23 June 2026 | 8 hours 39 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 August 2026 | 3 hours 8 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 21 April 2026 | 2 hours 32 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Alaska runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 47% of the 6,034 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Carrier
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 16%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
34% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,034 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 15 to one. The split is drawn from 6,034 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 47%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,824 of the 6,034 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations are rare at 0.80%, below the national 1.89% 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
6.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 45 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
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 73.9% on time across 376 flights, 11 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 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 OGG to LAX
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 63.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 370 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
