Across the year
UA 1900 quarter by quarter
UA 1900 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 89.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 61.5%, a swing of 28 points on roughly 80 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.

- Oct–Dec 202591 flights73.3%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights72.4%

Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1900 did best on Wednesday at 88.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 61.4%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 28 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late UA 1900 runs when it is late
UA 1900 often beats the schedule: 113 of 313 completed flights, 36%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 76 late arrivals split 21 under half an hour, 20 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 35 an hour or more.

Share of 313 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
20 of 80 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 25% of them. In the other direction, 16 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 MCO.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 1900
The latest arrival of the period was on 21 July 2026, 16 hours 50 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 21 July 2026 | 16 hours 50 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 20 May 2026 | 6 hours 3 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 7 August 2026 | 5 hours 39 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 16 March 2026 | 4 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 28 July 2026 | 4 hours 27 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why UA 1900 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 7,104 reported delay minutes.
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 26%National Airspace System
- 23%Carrier
- 10%Extreme weather
41% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,104 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one. The split is drawn from 7,104 delay minutes reported on UA 1900.
Cancellations sit at 1.57% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
11.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 937 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 three other city pairs in the data, including SEA to EWR (124), SNA to EWR (108) and MCO to DEN (6), but none flew often enough under UA 1900 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to MCO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 319 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 1900
