UA 1095 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 11 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 321 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, UA 1095's record is 11 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 112 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 321 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 1095 flies

UA 1095 flies IAD to SFO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:30, used on 196 of 321 flights, with 06:32 (48 flights) and 06:35 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 06:30 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 1095 runs level with that at 88.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

UA 1095 next to IAD to SFO

Across the year

UA 1095 quarter by quarter

UA 1095 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 84.6%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 80 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 1095 did best on Tuesday at 97.7% on time and worst on Saturday at 80.4%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 1095 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 3,273 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
48%
Carrier
41%
National Airspace System
11%

48% 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 3,273 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 48 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 3,273 delay minutes reported on UA 1095.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are 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 4.0% 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.

At 2,418 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including SFO to RNO (77), SFO to DTW (42) and SFO to CMH (41), but none flew often enough under UA 1095 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to IAD to SFO only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 321 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 1095

For a booking, UA 1095 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 88.8% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
