Eugene to Los Angeles

What the Data Says About EUG to LAX

The Eugene to Los Angeles corridor (EUG → LAX) covers roughly 748 miles and is served by 12 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,741 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 86.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,073 flights were recorded on this pairing — 8 cancelled (0.7%) and 3 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 12 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,741 total flights analyzed, the 85.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 86.0-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, Sep 2022 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Dec 2024 came in at 72% on-time — a 23-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the EUG to LAX route, the combination of a 85.7% on-time rate, 86.0-minute average delay, 0.7% recent cancellation rate, and 12 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
