Kahului to San Diego

What the Data Says About OGG to SAN

The Kahului to San Diego corridor (OGG → SAN) covers roughly 2,541 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,434 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 78.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 54.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,441 flights were recorded on this pairing — 28 cancelled (1.9%) and 15 diverted (1.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 6 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,434 total flights analyzed, the 78.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 54.6-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 56% on-time — a 35-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGG to SAN route, the combination of a 78.2% on-time rate, 54.6-minute average delay, 1.9% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
