Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2475, check with United Airlines.
UA 2475 lands a B+, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 2475's record is 4 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 41 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 2475 flies
UA 2475 flies MCO to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:30, used on 88 of 364 flights, with 12:16 (86 flights) and 12:34 (59 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 12:3088 flights24.2%
- Departs 12:1686 flights23.6%
- Departs 12:3459 flights16.2%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 12:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and UA 2475 runs 3 points better at 81.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
UA 2475 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 2475 held fairly steady: 83.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 84.6% in Oct–Dec 2025, 79.3% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 78.9% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 6 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights83.7%
- Oct–Dec 202591 flights84.6%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.3%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights78.9%
Scale runs 70% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 2475 did best on Thursday at 91.8% on time and worst on Saturday at 69.2%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
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 5,796 reported delay minutes.
- 33%National Airspace System
- 33%Carrier
- 31%Late-arriving aircraft
- 2%Extreme weather
33% 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 1,932 minutes out of 5,796, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 5,796 delay minutes reported on UA 2475.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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
5.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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. 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 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
