These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 1735 flies
UA 1735 flies OGG to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:00, used on 66 of 365 flights, with 20:04 (49 flights) and 20:50 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 20:0066 flights18.1%
- Departs 20:0449 flights13.4%
- Departs 20:5037 flights10.1%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 20:00 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and UA 1735 runs 22 points better at 92.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights91.0%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights92.0%

Delay causes
Why UA 1735 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 2,071 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.
- 43%Carrier
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 15%National Airspace System
42% 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 2,071 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 42 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 2,071 delay minutes reported on UA 1735.
Cancellations sit at 1.37% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.7% 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.
At 3,302 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
Every one of the 365 flights under UA 1735 in the data flew OGG to DEN. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 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 1735
For a booking, UA 1735 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.2% on time and 1.37% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
