These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

Share of 363 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 44 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 15 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 23 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at OGG.

The latest arrival of the period was on 27 November 2025, 8 hours 44 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 27 November 2025 | 8 hours 44 minutes | Carrier |
| 23 August 2026 | 6 hours 15 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why UA 1736 runs late
Carrier accounts for 50% of the 3,522 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Carrier
- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 50%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,775 of the 3,522 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,522 delay minutes reported on UA 1736.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.89% 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 3.3% 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.
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: 85.7% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
