These figures cover 359 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 2092 flies
UA 2092 is scheduled to leave Chicago (ORD) at 08:00 local time and reach New York (LGA) at 11:17. That slot held for 346 of the 359 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

A 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and UA 2092 runs 2 points better at 86.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
UA 2092 quarter by quarter
UA 2092 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 82.0%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 72 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.
- Jul–Sep 202530 flights96.7%
- Oct–Dec 202587 flights83.9%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights83.7%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights89.8%

Scale runs 75% to 100%.
By weekday, UA 2092 did best on Saturday at 93.2% on time and worst on Monday at 78.4%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late UA 2092 runs when it is late
UA 2092 often beats the schedule: 158 of 352 completed flights, 45%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 49 late arrivals split 19 under half an hour, 15 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 15 an hour or more.

Share of 352 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
5 of 34 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 15% of them. In the other direction, 20 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 LGA.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 2092
The latest arrival of the period was on 14 December 2025, 4 hours 20 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. The five worst days are spread across December, November and October, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 14 December 2025 | 4 hours 20 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 10 November 2025 | 4 hours 13 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 13 October 2025 | 3 hours 20 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 October 2025 | 1 hour 52 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 2092 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 54% of the 2,782 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%National Airspace System
- 26%Late-arriving aircraft
- 15%Carrier
- 5%Extreme weather
54% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,492 minutes out of 2,782, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 2,782 delay minutes reported on UA 2092.
Cancellations sit at 1.39% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.56%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.3% 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 733 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.
Every one of the 359 flights under UA 2092 in the data flew ORD to LGA. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 359 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 2092
For a booking, UA 2092 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.1% on time and 1.39% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
