What the Data Says About BLI to LAS

The Bellingham to Las Vegas corridor (BLI → LAS) covers roughly 954 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,743 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 89.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 77.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,350 flights were recorded on this pairing — 11 cancelled (0.8%) and 4 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,743 total flights analyzed, the 89.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 77.6-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Looking at recent months, Jun 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 82% on-time — a 14-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BLI to LAS route, the combination of a 89.2% on-time rate, 77.6-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
