Across the year
UA 413 quarter by quarter
UA 413 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 83.3% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 47.5%, a swing of 36 points on roughly 61 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.

Share of 302 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
13 of 72 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 18% of them. In the other direction, 17 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 IAD.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 413
The latest arrival of the period was on 16 March 2026, 9 hours 36 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 16 March 2026 | 9 hours 36 minutes | Carrier |
| 21 July 2026 | 8 hours 14 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 27 October 2025 | 7 hours 8 minutes | Carrier |

| 28 July 2026 | 4 hours 38 minutes | National Airspace System |
Delay causes
Why UA 413 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 7,756 reported delay minutes.
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%National Airspace System
- 29%Carrier
- 4%Extreme weather
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,756 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 to one. The split is drawn from 7,756 delay minutes reported on UA 413.
Cancellations are rare at 0.66%, 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
12.6% 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 758 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 IAH to MCO (148), IAD to LAX (59) and IAD to RSW (15), but none flew often enough under UA 413 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MCO to IAD only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 305 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 413
For a booking, UA 413 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.6% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
