Departure window
When American 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 495 flights.
The overnight block holds up unusually well at 90.2% on time across 495 flights. Red-eyes fly into empty airspace and empty gates, and they are the first rotation of the aircraft's day rather than the last. The 8pm–5am window is the busiest, with 495 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
American on OGG to PHX through the year
July is the worst month at 74.2% on time, 26 points below February, the best at 100.0%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. March was the busiest month here, with 62 flights.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 95.7% on time and Sunday the weakest at 85.9%, a spread of 10 points.

Delay causes
Why American runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 6,784 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%Late-arriving aircraft
- 35%Carrier
- 10%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,784 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 to one. The split is drawn from 6,784 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,382 of the 6,784 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.4% 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 2,844 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 85.2% on time across 495 flights, 5 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 5 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 495 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 American on OGG to PHX
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 495 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 90.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 492 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
