These figures cover 330 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 1362 flies
UA 1362 flies DEN to BWI without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:46, used on 110 of 330 flights, with 09:40 (57 flights) and 09:35 (40 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 09:46 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 1362 runs 3 points better at 87.4%. 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 1362 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 1362 held fairly steady: 82.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 88.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 90.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 89.3% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

- Jan–Mar 202690 flights90.9%

By weekday, UA 1362 did best on Tuesday at 97.9% on time and worst on Thursday at 74.5%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 1362 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 43% of the 1,698 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%National Airspace System
- 31%Carrier
- 26%Late-arriving aircraft
43% 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 726 minutes out of 1,698, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,698 delay minutes reported on UA 1362.
Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, 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 2.1% 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 1,491 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 three other city pairs in the data, including PSP to DEN (143), BZN to DEN (41) and BWI to IAH (20), but none flew often enough under UA 1362 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to BWI only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 330 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 1362
For a booking, UA 1362 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.4% on time and 0.61% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
