These figures cover 330 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

The worst days
Worst days for UA 1362
The latest arrival of the period was on 6 March 2026, 2 hours 49 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. The five worst days are spread across March, April, November, February and September, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 6 March 2026 | 2 hours 49 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 17 April 2026 | 2 hours 40 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 30 November 2025 | 1 hour 53 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 1362 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 1,617 reported delay minutes.
- 37%National Airspace System
- 33%Carrier
- 30%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 595 minutes out of 1,617, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,617 delay minutes reported on UA 1362.
Cancellations are rare at 0.30%, below the national 1.89% 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 8.3% 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 1,491 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.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including PSP to DEN (143), BZN to DEN (103) 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: 88.7% on time and 0.30% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
