These figures cover 333 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When UA 484 flies
UA 484 flies DEN to ABQ without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:37, used on 84 of 333 flights, with 19:25 (82 flights) and 19:20 (35 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 20:37 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and UA 484 runs 3 points better at 73.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
UA 484 quarter by quarter
UA 484 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 85.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 52.5%, a swing of 33 points on roughly 83 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.
- Jul–Sep 202561 flights52.5%
- Oct–Dec 202591 flights85.7%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights80.0%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights67.8%
Scale runs 45% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 484 did best on Tuesday at 83.3% on time and worst on Thursday at 65.2%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 484 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 65% of the 5,389 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 65%Late-arriving aircraft
- 23%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
65% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,389 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 54 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,389 delay minutes reported on UA 484.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The same number turns up on seven other city pairs in the data, including OKC to DEN (35), BOS to EWR (31) and IAD to DEN (21), but none flew often enough under UA 484 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to ABQ only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 333 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 484
For a booking, read UA 484 as 73.2% on time with 0.00% cancelled over 333 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
