UA 2341 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 a little over an hour. That rests on 255 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 2341's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 91 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 255 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 2341 flies
UA 2341 flies MCO to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:35, used on 68 of 255 flights, with 09:32 (49 flights) and 09:26 (39 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 09:35 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 2341 runs 3 points better at 86.7%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.
Against the route
UA 2341 next to MCO to ORD

United flew 2,459 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 75.6% on time. Across its whole network United Airlines managed 79.0%, which this flight beats by 8 points.

Across the year
UA 2341 quarter by quarter
UA 2341 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 91.2% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.0%, a swing of 10 points on roughly 85 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 202576 flights87.8%
- Jan–Mar 202687 flights81.0%
Scale runs 75% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2341 did best on Wednesday at 94.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 77.1%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 2341 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 48% of the 2,527 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.
- 48%Carrier
- 44%National Airspace System
- 5%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, 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 1,204 of the 2,527 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,527 delay minutes reported on UA 2341.
Cancellations sit at 1.96% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.39%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.0% 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 1,005 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 four other city pairs in the data, including MSY to IAH (58), DEN to ABQ (30) and ORD to EWR (18), but none flew often enough under UA 2341 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MCO to ORD only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 255 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 2341
