These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 3 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 295 quarter by quarter
UA 295 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 93.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 77.8%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 73 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.

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights79.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights77.8%

Scale runs 70% to 100%.
By weekday, UA 295 ranged from 80.8% on Saturday to 88.5% on Tuesday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Share of 363 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
9 of 42 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 21% of them. In the other direction, 27 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 GEG.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 295
The latest arrival of the period was on 1 December 2025, 4 hours 34 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 1 December 2025 | 4 hours 34 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 December 2025 | 3 hours 48 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 15 September 2025 | 2 hours 53 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 September 2025 | 1 hour 57 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 11 June 2026 | 1 hour 51 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why UA 295 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 2,778 reported delay minutes.
- 40%Carrier
- 30%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 40%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,102 of the 2,778 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,778 delay minutes reported on UA 295.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 836 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 TPA to DEN (45), MSY to DEN (36) and SYR to DEN (31), but none flew often enough under UA 295 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to GEG 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 295
