Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 1895, check with United Airlines.
UA 1895 lands a B+, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 306 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 1895's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 62 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 306 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 1895 flies
UA 1895 flies IAH to PHX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:15, used on 117 of 306 flights, with 10:12 (57 flights) and 09:40 (41 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 10:15 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 1895 runs level with that at 83.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.
Against the route
UA 1895 next to IAH to PHX

Across the year
UA 1895 quarter by quarter
UA 1895 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 98.4% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 73.3%, a swing of 25 points on roughly 77 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights82.4%
- Oct–Dec 202562 flights73.3%
- Jan–Mar 202661 flights98.4%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights82.4%
Scale runs 65% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1895 did best on Wednesday at 93.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 77.3%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 1895 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 2,800 reported delay minutes.
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 24%National Airspace System
- 11%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 11% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,800 delay minutes reported on UA 1895.
Cancellations are rare at 0.65%, 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
5.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,009 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including PIT to IAH (64), ORD to IAH (37) and PHX to ORD (36), but none flew often enough under UA 1895 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to IAH to PHX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 306 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 1895
