San Diego to Kahului

What the Data Says About SAN to OGG

The San Diego to Kahului corridor (SAN → OGG) covers roughly 2,541 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,432 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 64.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,440 flights were recorded on this pairing — 27 cancelled (1.9%) and 23 diverted (1.6%). 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 4,432 total flights analyzed, the 81.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 64.6-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, Apr 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Oct 2024 came in at 74% on-time — a 19-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SAN to OGG route, the combination of a 81.7% on-time rate, 64.6-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.
