Omaha to Las Vegas

What the Data Says About OMA to LAS

The Omaha to Las Vegas corridor (OMA → LAS) covers roughly 1,099 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,197 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 64.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,261 flights were recorded on this pairing — 14 cancelled (0.6%) and 3 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 11 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 6,197 total flights analyzed, the 82.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 64.9-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, Jun 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 72% on-time — a 19-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OMA to LAS route, the combination of a 82.1% on-time rate, 64.9-minute average delay, 0.6% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
