These figures cover 256 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 465 quarter by quarter
UA 465 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 82.8% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 65.9%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 64 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.

- Jan–Mar 20268 flights—

Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 465 did best on Wednesday at 83.8% on time and worst on Thursday at 58.3%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 26 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 256 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
10 of 62 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 16% of them. In the other direction, 13 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 IND.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 465
The latest arrival of the period was on 12 April 2026, 4 hours 3 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 12 April 2026 | 4 hours 3 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 15 June 2026 | 2 hours 16 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 24 November 2025 | 2 hours | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 465 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 52% of the 3,206 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 52%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 16%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
52% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,206 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 17 to one. The split is drawn from 3,206 delay minutes reported on UA 465.
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
7.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 50 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 844 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 six other city pairs in the data, including SAN to IAH (134), CID to ORD (21) and SAT to IAH (21), but none flew often enough under UA 465 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to IAH to IND only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 256 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 465
For a booking, UA 465 is one of the weaker ways to fly IAH to IND: 7 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
