These figures cover 344 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When UA 1714 flies

UA 1714 flies DEN to GJT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:30, used on 63 of 344 flights, with 11:34 (58 flights) and 11:24 (41 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 11:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 1714 runs 6 points better at 84.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

UA 1714 quarter by quarter

Jul–Sep 202592 flights81.3%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights82.6%
Jan–Mar 202669 flights88.4%

By weekday, UA 1714 ranged from 78.7% on Thursday to 90.0% on Tuesday. With about 49 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why UA 1714 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 2,798 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
41%
Late-arriving aircraft
37%
National Airspace System
22%

37% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 2,798 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 37 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 2,798 delay minutes reported on UA 1714.

Cancellations are rare at 0.29%, 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 4.1% 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 same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including SAN to DEN (51), MCO to DEN (41) 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, read UA 1714 as 84.8% on time with 0.29% cancelled over 344 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
