Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 1967, check with United Airlines.

UA 1967 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 10 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 303 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so UA 1967 runs 10 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 95 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 303 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.3% 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 1967 flies

UA 1967 flies ORD to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:00, used on 62 of 303 flights, with 18:30 (46 flights) and 18:10 (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 18:00 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and UA 1967 runs level with that at 68.1%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

UA 1967 next to ORD to LAX

Across the year

UA 1967 quarter by quarter

UA 1967 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 75.4% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 64.1%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 76 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 1967 did best on Wednesday at 81.4% on time and worst on Thursday at 50.0%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 31 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 1967 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 6,792 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
47%
Carrier
27%
National Airspace System
15%
Extreme weather
12%

Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 6,792 delay minutes reported on UA 1967.

Cancellations are rare at 0.66%, 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.3% 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 1,744 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 five other city pairs in the data, including LGA to ORD (185), PIT to ORD (43) and RSW to ORD (31), but none flew often enough under UA 1967 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to LAX only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 303 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 1967

For a booking, UA 1967 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.3% 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.
