UA 2266 earns an A. Nearly every flight arrives inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 17 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 2.8 hours. That rests on 307 flights, with a median arrival 16 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 2266's record is 17 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 170 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 307 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 16 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 2266 flies
UA 2266 flies SAV to EWR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:15, used on 84 of 307 flights, with 06:00 (54 flights) and 06:30 (49 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 06:15 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 2266 runs 5 points better at 94.6%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

By weekday, UA 2266 ranged from 88.6% on Sunday to 100.0% on Tuesday. With about 44 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 2266 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Extreme weather accounts for 55% of the 2,724 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.
- 55%Extreme weather
- 25%National Airspace System
- 20%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 55% 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 8.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,724 delay minutes reported on UA 2266.
Cancellations run at 2.61%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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 708 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 two other city pairs in the data, including EWR to FLL (74) and IAH to MCI (41), but none flew often enough under UA 2266 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SAV to EWR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 307 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 2266
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on UA 2266: 2.61% of its 307 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.8 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
