These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 1736 flies

UA 1736 flies DEN to OGG without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:15, used on 132 of 365 flights, with 12:00 (94 flights) and 12:05 (86 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 12:15 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 1736 runs 6 points better at 85.1%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

UA 1736 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter UA 1736 held fairly steady: 80.0% in Jul–Sep 2025, 87.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 87.6% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 85.7% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights80.0%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights87.0%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights87.6%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights85.7%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 1736 did best on Tuesday at 92.5% on time and worst on Monday at 78.8%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 1736 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 3,810 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
42%
Late-arriving aircraft
39%
National Airspace System
19%

39% 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 3,810 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 39 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 3,810 delay minutes reported on UA 1736.

Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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 3.6% 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 1736 in the data flew DEN to OGG. 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 1736

For a booking, UA 1736 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 85.1% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
