Los Angeles to Eugene

What the Data Says About LAX to EUG

The Los Angeles to Eugene corridor (LAX → EUG) 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% on-time rate with an average delay of 72.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,075 flights were recorded on this pairing — 4 cancelled (0.4%) and 2 diverted (0.2%). 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% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 72.7-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 96% on-time, while Nov 2024 came in at 78% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAX to EUG route, the combination of a 85% on-time rate, 72.7-minute average delay, 0.4% recent cancellation rate, and 12 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
