Los Angeles to Jackson

What the Data Says About LAX to JAC

The Los Angeles to Jackson corridor (LAX → JAC) covers roughly 784 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,697 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 63.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,398 flights were recorded on this pairing — 7 cancelled (0.5%) and 15 diverted (1.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,697 total flights analyzed, the 83.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 63.8-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, Aug 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Aug 2025 came in at 76% on-time — a 14-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAX to JAC route, the combination of a 83.1% on-time rate, 63.8-minute average delay, 0.5% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
