These figures cover 309 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 14 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.

UA 1241 is scheduled to leave Eugene (EUG) at 05:00 local time and reach Denver (DEN) at 08:37. That slot held for 309 of the 309 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 05:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 1241 runs 4 points better at 92.9%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 20 December 2025 | 4 hours 29 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 3 April 2026 | 3 hours 51 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why UA 1241 runs late
Carrier accounts for 48% of the 1,938 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Carrier
- 27%National Airspace System
- 20%Late-arriving aircraft
- 5%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 934 of the 1,938 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,938 delay minutes reported on UA 1241.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% 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 3.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 996 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including DEN to CID (55), DEN to BHM (41) and DEN to TYS (21), but none flew often enough under UA 1241 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EUG to DEN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 309 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 1241
For a booking, UA 1241 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.9% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
