These figures cover 265 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

A 10:30 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and UA 1344 runs 4 points worse at 79.7%. 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 1344 quarter by 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.

7 of 43 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 16% of them. In the other direction, 17 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 PBI.

Delay causes
Why UA 1344 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 48% of the 4,030 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%National Airspace System
- 26%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Extreme weather
- 13%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 13% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,030 delay minutes reported on UA 1344.
Cancellations sit at 1.51% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,024 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 ORD to DTW (47), SFO to LAX (22) and EWR to CLT (16), but none flew often enough under UA 1344 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to PBI only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 265 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
