Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop LAX to FAT flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.
Mostly on schedule. The departure side at LAX is the weaker end, route health score 74/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from LAX to FAT?
Great-circle distance is 337 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 54–59 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does LAX–FAT fly?
United Airlines runs the route with about 14 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at LAX and arrival-side delay at FAT, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
