Delay causes
Why UA 1513 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 9,806 reported delay minutes.
- 32%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%National Airspace System
- 25%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 9,806 delay minutes reported on UA 1513.
Cancellations sit at 2.08% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 2.08%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
12.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,196 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 eight other city pairs in the data, including EWR to SAN (46), RNO to SFO (44) and EWR to BUF (35), but none flew often enough under UA 1513 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EYW to EWR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 289 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 1513
For a booking, UA 1513 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.6% 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.
