Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 1344, check with United Airlines.
UA 1344 lands a B, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 296 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 296 flights between July 2025 and June 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.
Schedule
When UA 1344 flies
UA 1344 flies EWR to PBI without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:30, used on 149 of 296 flights, with 11:00 (42 flights) and 10:35 (30 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 10:30 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 1344 runs 5 points worse at 79.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.
Against the route
UA 1344 next to EWR to PBI

Across the year
UA 1344 quarter by quarter
UA 1344 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 87.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 68.9%, a swing of 18 points on roughly 74 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.

- Jan–Mar 202690 flights83.9%

By weekday, UA 1344 did best on Wednesday at 92.5% on time and worst on Saturday at 63.4%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 29 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 1344 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 45% of the 4,325 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.
- 45%National Airspace System
- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%Carrier
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,325 delay minutes reported on UA 1344.
Cancellations sit at 1.35% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.5% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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. 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 five other city pairs in the data, including HNL to SFO (31), EWR to CLT (16) and ORD to DTW (6), 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. 296 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.
