These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 418 quarter by quarter
UA 418 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 85.5%, a swing of 11 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 flights92.4%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights94.4%

By weekday, UA 418 ranged from 84.6% on Thursday to 96.2% on Tuesday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 12 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Arrival by arrival
How late UA 418 runs when it is late

Share of 363 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
5 of 21 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 24% 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 LAX.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 418
The latest arrival of the period was on 18 July 2026, 19 hours 33 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 18 July 2026 | 19 hours 33 minutes | Carrier |
| 10 August 2026 | 2 hours 3 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 June 2026 | 1 hour 58 minutes | Carrier |
| 28 May 2026 | 1 hour 44 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 21 June 2026 | 1 hour 31 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why UA 418 runs late
Carrier accounts for 66% of the 2,471 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 66%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 11%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 66%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,619 of the 2,471 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,471 delay minutes reported on UA 418.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.2% 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.
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 (140) 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: 90.4% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
