UA 1350 earns a B+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 353 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 1350's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 69 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 353 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 1350 flies
UA 1350 flies DEN to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:45, used on 85 of 353 flights, with 09:35 (82 flights) and 09:40 (79 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 09:4585 flights24.1%
- Departs 09:3582 flights23.2%
- Departs 09:4079 flights22.4%
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 09:45 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 1350 runs level with that at 84.5%. 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 1350 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 1350 held fairly steady: 85.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 82.6% in Oct–Dec 2025, 84.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 84.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 3 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights85.9%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights82.6%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights84.9%
- Apr–Jun 202680 flights84.6%
Scale runs 75% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1350 did best on Tuesday at 90.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 77.6%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 1350 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 43% of the 3,173 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.
- 43%Late-arriving aircraft
- 28%National Airspace System
- 26%Carrier
- 3%Extreme weather
43% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,173 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 12 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,173 delay minutes reported on UA 1350.
Cancellations are rare at 0.57%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is 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 4.9% 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 641 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 four other city pairs in the data, including ONT to DEN (37), DFW to IAH (31) and EWR to SNA (6), but none flew often enough under UA 1350 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 353 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 1350
For a booking, read UA 1350 as 84.5% on time with 0.57% cancelled over 353 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
