Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2065, check with United Airlines.
UA 2065 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 a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 311 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 2065's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 61 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 311 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 5 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 2065 flies
UA 2065 flies MCO to IAD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:40, used on 102 of 311 flights, with 13:45 (97 flights) and 13:31 (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 13:40 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 2065 runs 5 points better at 83.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.
Against the route
UA 2065 next to MCO to IAD
Every carrier on MCO to IAD combined arrived on time 82.7% of the time across 2,178 flights, so UA 2065 is about level with it. United flew 1,898 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 82.9% on time. Across its whole network United Airlines managed 79.0%, which this flight beats by 5 points.

Across the year
UA 2065 quarter by quarter
UA 2065 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 89.0% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 78.4%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 78 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 202567 flights80.6%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights78.4%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2065 did best on Wednesday at 93.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 74.4%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 2065 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 3,873 reported delay minutes.
- 36%National Airspace System
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 21%Carrier
- 8%Extreme weather
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,873 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,873 delay minutes reported on UA 2065.
Cancellations are rare at 0.64%, 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
7.2% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 758 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 IAD to LAX (37), DEN to MCO (34) and EWR to BOS (31), but none flew often enough under UA 2065 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MCO to IAD only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 311 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 2065
For a booking, read UA 2065 as 83.7% on time with 0.64% cancelled over 311 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
