These figures cover 303 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule

When UA 1006 flies

UA 1006 flies LAX to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:15, used on 121 of 303 flights, with 08:19 (85 flights) and 08:20 (45 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

A 08:15 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 1006 runs 8 points better at 92.0%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

UA 1006 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter UA 1006 held fairly steady: 95.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 93.2% in Oct–Dec 2025, 89.8% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 87.5% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Oct–Dec 202590 flights93.2%
Jan–Mar 202649 flights89.8%

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 1006 did best on Sunday at 100.0% on time and worst on Tuesday at 86.4%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 1006 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 1,328 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Late-arriving aircraft
44%
Carrier
29%
National Airspace System
27%

44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 1,328 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 44 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 1,328 delay minutes reported on UA 1006.

Cancellations are rare at 0.66%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The same number turns up on seven other city pairs in the data, including LAS to DEN (150), LAS to ORD (117) and ORD to BNA (68), but none flew often enough under UA 1006 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to LAS only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 303 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.

What to do with this

Booking UA 1006

For a booking, UA 1006 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.0% on time and 0.66% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
