Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 1792, check with United Airlines.

UA 1792 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 7 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land an hour and a half behind schedule. That rests on 355 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so UA 1792 runs 7 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 66 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 355 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 15.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When UA 1792 flies

UA 1792 flies EWR to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:59, used on 96 of 355 flights, with 21:24 (53 flights) and 21:00 (48 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 20:59 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and UA 1792 runs level with that at 71.0%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

UA 1792 quarter by quarter

UA 1792 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 78.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 61.6%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 89 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, UA 1792 did best on Tuesday at 83.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 59.2%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 1792 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 49% of the 9,260 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.

49%
Carrier
38%

Extreme weather
3%

49% 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 9,260 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 18 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 9,260 delay minutes reported on UA 1792.

Cancellations sit at 1.69% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 15.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

At 1,605 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.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including TPA to EWR (88), JAX to EWR (36) and PBI to EWR (18), but none flew often enough under UA 1792 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to DEN only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 355 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 1792

For a booking, UA 1792 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 15.2% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
