Las Vegas to Honolulu

What the Data Says About LAS to HNL

The Las Vegas to Honolulu corridor (LAS → HNL) covers roughly 2,762 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 8,092 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 71.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,588 flights were recorded on this pairing — 7 cancelled (0.2%) and 127 diverted (3.5%). 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 8,092 total flights analyzed, the 75.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 71.0-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, Jan 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Jan 2024 came in at 61% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAS to HNL route, the combination of a 75.4% on-time rate, 71.0-minute average delay, 0.2% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
