These figures cover 256 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 19.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When UA 1395 flies
UA 1395 flies PBI to EWR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 16:31, used on 30 of 256 flights, with 17:20 (29 flights) and 16:45 (28 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 16:31 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and UA 1395 runs 11 points worse at 61.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
UA 1395 quarter by quarter
UA 1395 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 76.9% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 40.7%, a swing of 36 points on roughly 85 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.

By weekday, UA 1395 did best on Tuesday at 70.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 50.0%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 1395 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 55% of the 8,120 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.
- 55%National Airspace System
- 26%Late-arriving aircraft
- 18%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
55% 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 4,458 minutes out of 8,120, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 8,120 delay minutes reported on UA 1395.
Cancellations sit at 1.56% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 19.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
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 seven other city pairs in the data, including IAD to SEA (49), MCO to IAD (49) and EWR to BOS (37), but none flew often enough under UA 1395 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PBI to EWR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 256 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 1395
For a booking, UA 1395 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 19.8% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
