Las Vegas to Milwaukee

What the Data Says About LAS to MKE

The Las Vegas to Milwaukee corridor (LAS → MKE) covers roughly 1,524 miles and is served by 10 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 7,140 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 61.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,530 flights were recorded on this pairing — 17 cancelled (0.7%) and 8 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 10 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 7,140 total flights analyzed, the 75.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 61.3-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, Nov 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 67% on-time — a 25-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAS to MKE route, the combination of a 75.3% on-time rate, 61.3-minute average delay, 0.7% recent cancellation rate, and 10 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
