These figures cover 300 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When UA 2282 flies

UA 2282 flies LAS to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:04, used on 59 of 300 flights, with 20:30 (49 flights) and 18:49 (31 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 19:04 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and UA 2282 runs 7 points better at 74.7%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

UA 2282 quarter by quarter

UA 2282 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 83.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 66.3%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 75 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.

By weekday, UA 2282 did best on Saturday at 86.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 67.3%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 2282 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 4,341 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.

57%
National Airspace System
25%
Carrier

Extreme weather
1%

57% 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 4,341 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 57 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 4,341 delay minutes reported on UA 2282.

Cancellations sit at 1.00% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

UA 2282 is not only a LAS to LAX flight. It also flew LAX to IAD (298 flights, 88.4% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 300 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.
