Today’s on-time outlook for LAX

Prediction from the Amadeus travel network, refreshed daily.
What disrupts LAX
LAX rarely has weather problems beyond the morning marine layer, so its delays skew operational: gate congestion, taxi times, and the sprawling terminal layout. Nearly every major US and international carrier operates here, which means plentiful rebooking options.
Local knowledge: The marine layer burns off by late morning — early LAX departures in June ('June gloom') carry the most fog risk.
Flight delayed or cancelled at LAX? Do this
- Start in the airline’s app: accept the first workable rebooking, then work the phone for something better.
- Join the phone call-back queue while you walk to the service desk — whichever answers first wins. Numbers below connect directly to the airlines.
- Before you accept a voucher, spend three minutes on your rights — see the cancellation guide and compensation guide.
- Pull your flight up in the free status tool — gate and delay data lands there before the terminal boards refresh.
