UA 2414 lands a B+, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 346 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.

These figures cover 346 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.4% 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 2414 flies

UA 2414 flies ORD to BNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:55, used on 105 of 346 flights, with 10:43 (70 flights) and 10:58 (37 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 10:55 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 2414 runs 4 points worse at 80.4%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

UA 2414 quarter by quarter

UA 2414 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 91.2% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 72.7%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 87 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 202578 flights72.7%
Jan–Mar 202685 flights78.3%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights78.0%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 2414 did best on Tuesday at 86.0% on time and worst on Friday at 67.3%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 2414 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 4,757 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
37%
Carrier
29%
National Airspace System
23%
Extreme weather
11%

37% 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 4,757 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 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 4,757 delay minutes reported on UA 2414.

Cancellations are rare at 0.87%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

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. 9.4% 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.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including RDU to ORD (35), EWR to LAS (17) and GRR to ORD (14), but none flew often enough under UA 2414 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to BNA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 346 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 2414
