Across the year
UA 2477 quarter by quarter
UA 2477 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 81.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 60.0%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 86 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.

Delay causes
Why UA 2477 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 57% of the 5,736 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%National Airspace System
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 6%Carrier
- 2%Extreme weather
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,736 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 20 to one. The split is drawn from 5,736 delay minutes reported on UA 2477.
Cancellations sit at 2.33% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.39%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
12.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,068 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 four other city pairs in the data, including SFO to IND (33), EWR to DFW (24) and DEN to IAD (19), but none flew often enough under UA 2477 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to RSW to EWR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 258 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 2477
For a booking, UA 2477 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.7% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
