These figures cover 364 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 2475 quarter by quarter
UA 2475 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 90.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 73.3%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 73 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 2475 did best on Wednesday at 88.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 74.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late UA 2475 runs when it is late
UA 2475 often beats the schedule: 104 of 358 completed flights, 29%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 70 late arrivals split 28 under half an hour, 18 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 24 an hour or more.

Share of 358 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 58 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 18 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 30 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 ORD.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 2475
The latest arrival of the period was on 11 May 2026, 20 hours 29 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across May, March and September, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 11 May 2026 | 20 hours 29 minutes | Carrier |
| 16 March 2026 | 9 hours 28 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 2 May 2026 | 6 hours 44 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 6 March 2026 | 5 hours 7 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 10 September 2025 | 4 hours 46 minutes | Carrier |
Delay causes
Why UA 2475 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 6,422 reported delay minutes.
- 40%National Airspace System
- 30%Carrier
- 29%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
40% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 2,587 minutes out of 6,422, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 6,422 delay minutes reported on UA 2475.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.89% 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
6.7% 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 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.
The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including ORD to DTW (37), SFO to PDX (31) and ORD to SFO (31), but none flew often enough under UA 2475 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. 364 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 2475
