What the record says about this route

Which airline you fly changes the odds here. Ryanair arrived on time 16 points more often than Jet2 over the same period on the same route — same airports, same weather, same air traffic control. A gap that survives all of that is about how the two airlines are run.

The season swings this route hard. In March it ran 49.3 points more punctual than in October — a difference bigger than the one between the best and worst airlines on most routes. If the date is flexible, it is worth more than the carrier.

This is a late route. Flights from Gran Canaria Island to Bristol miss their scheduled arrival often enough that a tight connection at the far end is a connection at risk.

The two directions do not behave alike. BRS to LPA arrives on time 15 points more often than the outbound. Delay accumulates through the flying day, so whichever direction is scheduled later tends to carry the worse record — which is an argument for booking the morning departure if the choice exists.

Which airline should you fly on this route?

Over March 2025 – August 2026, Ryanair arrived on time most often on LPA to BRS. Jet2 was late most often. Flights ran closest to schedule in December and worst in October.

What these figures do and do not tell you

Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on LPA to BRS during March 2025 – August 2026, as reported by the airlines to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. "On time" is the federal definition: arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

A route's record is a description of the past, not a forecast. Weather, air traffic control and the aircraft's earlier flights that day drive most delays, and none of them are predictable from a historical rate. What the record does tell you is whether this route runs late more often than others, and which carrier on it has the better history — which is the part you can actually act on when you book.

Cancellations are counted separately from delays because they are a different problem for a traveller: a late flight still gets you there. How the grade is calculated →
