These figures cover 326 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 1112 flies
UA 1112 flies LIH to SFO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:30, used on 49 of 326 flights, with 12:57 (37 flights) and 14:10 (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 12:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 1112 runs 12 points better at 90.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
UA 1112 quarter by quarter
UA 1112 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 81.5%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 82 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights96.7%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights81.5%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights91.1%
- Apr–Jun 202652 flights96.2%
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1112 ranged from 84.8% on Monday to 95.7% on Tuesday. With about 47 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why UA 1112 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 59% of the 1,271 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.
- 59%National Airspace System
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 7%Carrier
34% 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 1,271 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 34 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 1,271 delay minutes reported on UA 1112.
Cancellations are rare at 0.31%, 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 1.2% 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 2,446 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 four other city pairs in the data, including SFO to MCO (21), DEN to MEM (6) and HNL to LAX (5), but none flew often enough under UA 1112 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LIH to SFO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 326 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 1112
For a booking, UA 1112 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.8% on time and 0.31% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
