These figures cover 344 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

| 19 December 2025 | 5 hours 40 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why UA 1714 runs late
Carrier accounts for 44% of the 2,456 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Carrier
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%National Airspace System
36% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,456 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 to one. The split is drawn from 2,456 delay minutes reported on UA 1714.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are 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 3.5% 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 same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including MCO to DEN (82), SAN to DEN (51) and MKE to DEN (35), but none flew often enough under UA 1714 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to GJT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 344 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 1714
For a booking, UA 1714 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.6% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
