23 of 112 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 21% of them. In the other direction, 23 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 LAX.

Delay causes
Why UA 1967 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 9,135 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Late-arriving aircraft
- 37%Carrier
- 13%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,135 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 12 to one. The split is drawn from 9,135 delay minutes reported on UA 1967.
Cancellations sit at 0.90% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
15.2% 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.
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 three other city pairs in the data, including LGA to ORD (185), RSW to ORD (31) and ORD to TPA (18), 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. 333 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. 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.
