Delay causes
Why UA 2692 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 5,857 reported delay minutes.
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 36%Carrier
- 26%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
36% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,857 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 34 to one. The split is drawn from 5,857 delay minutes reported on UA 2692.
Cancellations sit at 1.61% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
10.5% 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.
At 2,454 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
The same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including LAX to SFO (37), SFO to ONT (34) and IAH to ABQ (31), but none flew often enough under UA 2692 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to LAX 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 2692
