Burbank to Las Vegas

What the Data Says About BUR to LAS

The Burbank to Las Vegas corridor (BUR → LAS) covers roughly 223 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 22,547 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 79.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 62.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 8,862 flights were recorded on this pairing — 137 cancelled (1.5%) and 1 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 8 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 22,547 total flights analyzed, the 79.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 62.2-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, Feb 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 86% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 69% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BUR to LAS route, the combination of a 79.6% on-time rate, 62.2-minute average delay, 1.5% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
