These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

Across the year
UA 2662 quarter by quarter

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 16 March 2026 | 6 hours 28 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 2 May 2026 | 4 hours 34 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why UA 2662 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 60% of the 3,857 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 60%National Airspace System
- 19%Late-arriving aircraft
- 16%Carrier
- 6%Extreme weather
60% 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 2,303 minutes out of 3,857, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 3,857 delay minutes reported on UA 2662.
Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, 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
5.6% 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 854 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 seven other city pairs in the data, including OMA to IAH (47), MCO to ORD (45) and PBI to IAH (35), but none flew often enough under UA 2662 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to IAH to MCO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 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 2662
For a booking, UA 2662 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.8% on time and 0.82% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
