Carrier by carrier
Alaska against every carrier on OGG to OAK
Alaska flew 243 of the 730 flights on OGG to OAK, about 33% of it. Its 72.1% on time is 12 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 84.3%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Southwest at 95.9% to Alaska at 72.1%. 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 matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 18 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm213 flights74.3%
- 2pm–5pm30 flights56.7%
- 5pm–8pm—
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 50% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 74.3% on time, ahead of 2pm–5pm at 56.7%. 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 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 213 flights scheduled in it.

The worst days
Worst days for Alaska on OGG to OAK
The latest arrival of the period was on 16 August 2026, 9 hours 2 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). Three of the five worst days fell in March 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 16 August 2026 | 9 hours 2 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 August 2026 | 5 hours 53 minutes | Carrier |
| 14 March 2026 | 4 hours 5 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why Alaska runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 48% of the 5,016 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Carrier
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 7%Extreme weather
- 5%National Airspace System
41% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,016 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 5,016 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,396 of the 5,016 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, 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
10.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
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 95.4% on time across 243 flights, 23 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 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 OGG to OAK
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 72.1% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 240 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
