Los Angeles to Bend/Redmond

What the Data Says About LAX to RDM

The Los Angeles to Bend/Redmond corridor (LAX → RDM) covers roughly 726 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,063 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 87% on-time rate with an average delay of 62.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 824 flights were recorded on this pairing — 10 cancelled (1.2%) and 5 diverted (0.6%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,063 total flights analyzed, the 87% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 62.6-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 81% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 77% on-time — a 4-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAX to RDM route, the combination of a 87% on-time rate, 62.6-minute average delay, 1.2% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
