A 10:50 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and UA 2672 runs 5 points worse at 79.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Share of 277 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
6 of 45 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 13% of them. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at PNS.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 2672
The latest arrival of the period was on 5 September 2025, 6 hours 23 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 5 September 2025 | 6 hours 23 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 18 May 2026 | 5 hours 42 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 17 July 2026 | 4 hours 11 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 2672 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 4,603 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 18%National Airspace System
- 13%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,603 delay minutes reported on UA 2672.
Cancellations are rare at 0.36%, 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
10.1% 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 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.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including BDL to ORD (176), CLT to ORD (72) 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.
What to do with this
Booking UA 2672
For a booking, read UA 2672 as 79.1% on time with 0.36% cancelled over 278 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
