These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.
Schedule
When UA 418 flies
UA 418 flies OGG to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:25, used on 80 of 365 flights, with 13:20 (67 flights) and 13:00 (49 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 14:2580 flights21.9%
- Departs 13:2067 flights18.4%
- Departs 13:0049 flights13.4%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 14:25 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and UA 418 runs 19 points better at 91.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
UA 418 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter UA 418 held fairly steady: 93.5% in Jul–Sep 2025, 92.4% in Oct–Dec 2025, 94.4% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 85.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights93.5%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights92.4%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights94.4%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights85.6%
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 418 ranged from 84.6% on Sunday to 94.3% on Tuesday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why UA 418 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 1,459 reported delay minutes.
- 41%Carrier
- 36%National Airspace System
- 23%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 41%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 599 of the 1,459 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,459 delay minutes reported on UA 418.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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.
At 2,485 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 two other city pairs in the data, including LAX to IAD (122) and LAX to TPA (29), but none flew often enough under UA 418 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to OGG to LAX 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 418
For a booking, UA 418 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 91.5% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
