These figures cover 329 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.

Delay causes
Why UA 1741 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 4,255 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%National Airspace System
- 13%Carrier
- 0%Extreme weather
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,255 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 53 to one. The split is drawn from 4,255 delay minutes reported on UA 1741.
Cancellations sit at 0.91% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.91%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including ORD to ABQ (105), DEN to MIA (46) and TVC to ORD (36), but none flew often enough under UA 1741 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ABQ to DEN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 329 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 1741
For a booking, read UA 1741 as 82.4% on time with 0.91% cancelled over 329 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
