What a ground stop at LAS means

A ground stop is an FAA order that holds flights to LAS at their departure airport. Aircraft that are already in the air continue and land. A ground stop usually lasts from 30 minutes to a few hours, and the FAA can extend it.

A ground delay program is different: flights to LAS get a later departure time, so they still operate, but late.

If your flight to or from LAS is held, stay near the gate and keep the airline app open. Before you leave home, check LAS security wait times.
