These figures cover 339 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

Across the year
UA 1332 quarter by quarter
UA 1332 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 93.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.0%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 85 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.

- Oct–Dec 202591 flights85.4%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights81.0%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights87.6%

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1332 did best on Tuesday at 91.3% on time and worst on Friday at 78.3%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 328 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
4 of 24 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 17% of them. In the other direction, 24 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at ORD.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 1332
The latest arrival of the period was on 21 June 2026, 10 hours 16 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 21 June 2026 | 10 hours 16 minutes | Carrier |
| 12 December 2025 | 4 hours 55 minutes | Carrier |
| 28 February 2026 | 4 hours 2 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why UA 1332 runs late
Carrier accounts for 58% of the 3,132 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Carrier
- 37%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
- 0%Late-arriving aircraft
37% 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 1,155 minutes out of 3,132, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 3,132 delay minutes reported on UA 1332.
Cancellations sit at 2.36% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.88%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.7% 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 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.
The same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including ORD to LGA (53), ORD to MYR (47) and ORD to EWR (44), 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. 339 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
For a booking, read UA 1332 as 86.6% on time with 2.36% cancelled over 339 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
