What LAX to DUB looks like
The LAX to DUB sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Los Angeles LAX to Dublin DUB is an ultra long sector of 8,318 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 8,318 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 10h 31m.
Los Angeles LAX is a major hub in the network held here, 212 scheduled destinations and 826.3 departures a day. Dublin DUB has 198 destinations and 462.1 departures a day.
Dublin is 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles all year.
The pair sits between the Americas and Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 36 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LAX to DUB from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAX to DUB | 1.29 | 9 | Aer Lingus |
| DUB to LAX | 1.14 | 8 | Aer Lingus |
One carrier holds the sector, Aer Lingus, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 17 departures a week on LAX to DUB, 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 10h 31m block time on LAX to DUB. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to LAX | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LAX before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LAX to DUB in the air, estimated | 631 min | 15h 01m |
| Formalities at DUB | 90 min | 16h 31m |
| Delivery run in Dublin | 45 min | 17h 16m |
| Door to door | 1,036 min | 17h 16m |
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 LAX to DUB is 17h 16m.
A courier who leaves Los Angeles at 09:00 local is on the ground in Dublin at about 03:31 local and at the door by 05:46 the following day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Dublin, nothing leaving Los Angeles inside a normal working day arrives in time, so this pair is an overnight and a next morning delivery rather than a same day one.
At 17h 16m the mission is past the sixteen hour duty day a single courier is planned against, so it is quoted with a rest at the far end or with a second courier, and never as a turnaround.
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. 45 of them join LAX to DUB.
| Connecting at | LAX to hub, flights a day | Hub to DUB, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minneapolis MSP | 8 | 2.29 | 8,461 | 12h 37m |
| Denver DEN | 23.57 | 0.86 | 8,434 | 12h 45m |
| Montreal YUL | 3.43 | 0.71 | 8,743 | 12h 47m |
| Toronto YYZ | 6.57 | 5.14 | 8,755 | 12h 48m |
| Detroit DTW | 5.71 | 1 | 8,776 | 12h 50m |
| San Francisco SFO | 44 | 1.14 | 8,726 | 12h 54m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at LAX in the afternoon actually flies on.
45 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Minneapolis MSP, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through MSP the routing covers 8,461 km against the 8,318 km nonstop track and takes about 12h 37m 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 06m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Denver DEN at 12h 45m and Montreal YUL at 12h 47m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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.
If nothing suitable leaves Dublin, Belfast BFS is 137 km away by great circle and carries 47 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 LAX to DUB 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.
