Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2092, check with United Airlines.
UA 2092 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 359 flights, with a median arrival 14 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 2092's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 97 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 359 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 14 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 11:18. That slot held for 359 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.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 2092 runs 3 points better at 87.3%. 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
Quarter by quarter UA 2092 held fairly steady: 91.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 83.9% in Oct–Dec 2025, 83.7% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 89.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Scale runs 75% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2092 ranged from 82.0% on Monday to 93.3% on Saturday. With about 51 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why UA 2092 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 45% of the 3,238 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.
- 45%National Airspace System
- 38%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Carrier
- 4%Extreme weather
38% 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 3,238 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 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 3,238 delay minutes reported on UA 2092.
Cancellations sit at 1.39% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.1% 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 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. 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 one other city pair in the data, including TVC to ORD (49), but none flew often enough under UA 2092 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to LGA only.
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: 87.3% on time and 1.39% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
