These figures cover 277 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 4 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 1332 flies
UA 1332 flies SAT to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 87 of 277 flights, with 06:40 (54 flights) and 06:49 (53 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 07:0087 flights31.4%
- Departs 06:4054 flights19.5%
- Departs 06:4953 flights19.1%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 1332 runs 4 points worse at 85.1%. 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 1332 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 1332 held fairly steady: 85.4% in Oct–Dec 2025, 81.0% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 87.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 7 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 20256 flights—
- Oct–Dec 202591 flights85.4%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights81.0%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights87.6%
Scale runs 75% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1332 did best on Tuesday at 89.7% on time and worst on Friday at 75.7%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 1332 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 59% of the 2,990 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%Carrier
- 36%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
- 0%Late-arriving aircraft
36% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,078 minutes out of 2,990, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 2,990 delay minutes reported on UA 1332.
Cancellations sit at 2.17% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.08%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.1% 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 1,041 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on ten other city pairs in the data, including ORD to EWR (75), ORD to LGA (53) and IAH to ORD (49), but none flew often enough under UA 1332 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SAT to ORD only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 277 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 1332
