What LAS to LAX looks like
The LAS to LAX sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Las Vegas LAS to Los Angeles LAX is a short sector of 380 km by great circle, flown nonstop 28.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 380 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 04m.
Las Vegas LAS is a major hub in the network held here, 212 scheduled destinations and 642 departures a day. Los Angeles LAX has 212 destinations and 826.3 departures a day.
Las Vegas and Los Angeles keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LAS to LAX from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAS to LAX | 28.86 | 202 | American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JSX Air, NetJets Aviation, Southwest Airlines |
| LAX to LAS | 27.71 | 194 | Advanced Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JSX Air, NetJets Aviation |
7 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 28.9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 396 departures a week on LAS to LAX, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 1h 04m block time on LAS to LAX. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to LAS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LAS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LAS to LAX in the air, estimated | 64 min | 5h 34m |
| Formalities at LAX | 90 min | 7h 04m |
| Delivery run in Los Angeles | 45 min | 7h 49m |
| Door to door | 469 min | 7h 49m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LAS to LAX is 7h 49m.
A courier who leaves Las Vegas at 09:00 local is on the ground in Los Angeles at about 10:04 local and at the door by 12:19 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Los Angeles, the last useful departure from Las Vegas is around 14:41 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 68 of them join LAS to LAX.
| Connecting at | LAS to hub, flights a day | Hub to LAX, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| San Diego SAN | 20.71 | 8.23 | 592 | 3h 08m |
| Phoenix PHX | 20.14 | 23.43 | 1,005 | 3h 43m |
| Oakland OAK | 14 | 6.57 | 1,197 | 3h 46m |
| San Jose SJC | 12.71 | 14.86 | 1,116 | 3h 54m |
| San Francisco SFO | 21.71 | 42.71 | 1,208 | 4h 02m |
| Salt Lake City SLC | 11 | 11 | 1,541 | 4h 20m |
With 28.9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
68 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is San Diego SAN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 8.2 times a day.
Through SAN the routing covers 592 km against the 380 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 08m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 04m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Phoenix PHX at 3h 43m and Oakland OAK at 3h 46m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 380 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 5h 56m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.
If nothing suitable leaves Los Angeles, San Diego SAN is 176 km away by great circle and carries 123 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for LAS to LAX in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
