UA 2670 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 7 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 310 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.

These figures cover 310 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 2 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 2670 flies
UA 2670 flies DFW to IAH without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 203 of 310 flights, with 07:05 (86 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 2670 runs 19 points worse at 70.8%. 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 2670 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 2670 held fairly steady: 68.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 66.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 72.2% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 73.9% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 7 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

- Oct–Dec 202551 flights66.7%
- Jan–Mar 202683 flights72.2%

By weekday, UA 2670 did best on Wednesday at 76.9% on time and worst on Friday at 63.6%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 2670 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 50% of the 5,141 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 50%Carrier
- 47%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 50%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,549 of the 5,141 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,141 delay minutes reported on UA 2670.
Cancellations sit at 2.26% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.65%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The same number turns up on ten other city pairs in the data, including IAH to FLL (103), IAH to DEN (57) and DEN to SMF (42), but none flew often enough under UA 2670 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to IAH only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 310 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 2670
