These figures cover 306 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 11 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.

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.

By weekday, UA 1895 did best on Wednesday at 97.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 81.8%. 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 2,099 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
32%
National Airspace System
29%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
Extreme weather
11%

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 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,099 delay minutes reported on UA 1895.

Cancellations are rare at 0.65%, 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 3.6% 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.

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.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including PIT to IAH (64), PHX to ORD (36) and EWR to IAH (25), 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

For a booking, UA 1895 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.8% on time and 0.65% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
