Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2672, check with United Airlines.

UA 2672 lands a B+, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six 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 278 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, UA 2672's record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 51 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 278 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When UA 2672 flies

UA 2672 flies ORD to PNS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:50, used on 70 of 278 flights, with 10:39 (42 flights) and 10:40 (42 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 10:50 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 2672 runs level with that at 82.7%. 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 2672 quarter by quarter

UA 2672 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 89.5% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 75.5%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 70 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.

Jul–Sep 202586 flights89.5%
Oct–Dec 202553 flights75.5%
Jan–Mar 202648 flights78.7%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 2672 did best on Thursday at 89.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 72.5%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 2672 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 3,994 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
47%
Carrier
21%
National Airspace System
17%
Extreme weather
15%

Extreme weather accounts for 15% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,994 delay minutes reported on UA 2672.

Cancellations are rare at 0.36%, 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 794 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 five other city pairs in the data, including CLT to ORD (134), BDL to ORD (115) and IND to ORD (53), but none flew often enough under UA 2672 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to PNS only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 278 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.
