Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2200, check with United Airlines.
UA 2200 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 329 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 2200's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 85 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 329 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 2200 flies
UA 2200 flies LGA to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:30, used on 86 of 329 flights, with 12:15 (71 flights) and 12:25 (54 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 12:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 2200 runs 7 points better at 86.1%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
UA 2200 quarter by quarter
UA 2200 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 94.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 79.8%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 82 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 202592 flights87.9%
- Oct–Dec 202591 flights79.8%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights85.1%
- Apr–Jun 202656 flights94.6%
Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2200 ranged from 82.2% on Sunday to 88.6% on Thursday. With about 47 flights behind each day, a spread of 6 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why UA 2200 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 3,939 reported delay minutes.
- 40%Late-arriving aircraft
- 23%Carrier
- 21%National Airspace System
- 15%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 15% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,939 delay minutes reported on UA 2200.
Cancellations sit at 1.52% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.3% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 1,620 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 four other city pairs in the data, including DEN to JAC (41), DEN to DAY (21) and DEN to ORD (18), but none flew often enough under UA 2200 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LGA to DEN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 329 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 2200
