Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2095, check with United Airlines.
UA 2095 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land roughly 55 minutes behind schedule. That rests on 351 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so UA 2095 runs 4 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 40 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 351 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. On-time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the same threshold the Department of Transportation uses in its own reports. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and counted separately, which is why the cancellation column matters on its own.
Schedule
When UA 2095 flies
UA 2095 flies IAH to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:50, used on 120 of 351 flights, with 22:02 (51 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 19:50 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and UA 2095 runs 5 points better at 73.6%. 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 2095 next to IAH to LAX

United flew 3,416 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 84.4% on time. Across its whole network United Airlines managed 79.0%, which this flight trails by 5 points.

Across the year
UA 2095 quarter by quarter
UA 2095 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 80.9% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 65.9%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 88 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 202591 flights68.1%
- Jan–Mar 202679 flights80.8%
- Apr–Jun 202689 flights80.9%
Scale runs 55% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2095 did best on Wednesday at 83.3% on time and worst on Saturday at 69.6%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 2095 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 47% of the 4,877 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.
- 47%Carrier
- 33%Late-arriving aircraft
- 15%National Airspace System
- 5%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 47%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,268 of the 4,877 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,877 delay minutes reported on UA 2095.
Cancellations are rare at 0.28%, 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
6.9% 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 roughly 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,379 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 ORD to IAH (109), BWI to IAH (88) and JAX to IAH (24), but none flew often enough under UA 2095 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to IAH to LAX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 351 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.
