These figures cover 273 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

Across the year
UA 2215 quarter by quarter
UA 2215 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 86.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 74.1%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 68 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 202530 flights86.7%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights81.6%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights83.3%
- Jul–Sep 202662 flights74.1%
Scale runs 65% to 90%.
By weekday, UA 2215 did best on Friday at 89.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 73.0%. Each day rests on about 39 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 265 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
11 of 45 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 24% of them. In the other direction, 16 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 MCO.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 2215
The latest arrival of the period was on 21 July 2026, 9 hours 52 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across July, December, August, May and February, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 21 July 2026 | 9 hours 52 minutes | Carrier |
| 14 December 2025 | 5 hours 9 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 2215 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 4,452 reported delay minutes.
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%National Airspace System
- 32%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
34% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,452 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 34 to one. The split is drawn from 4,452 delay minutes reported on UA 2215.
Cancellations sit at 1.10% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.83%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so 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.
The 937 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.
The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including MCO to IAH (209), IAH to DEN (67) and IAH to LAX (35), but none flew often enough under UA 2215 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to MCO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 273 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 2215
