Delay causes
Why UA 576 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 53% of the 7,301 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%National Airspace System
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 11%Carrier
36% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,301 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 to one. The split is drawn from 7,301 delay minutes reported on UA 576.
Cancellations sit at 1.79% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
10.1% 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.
UA 576 is not only a MSP to ORD flight. It also flew ORD to LAX (304 flights, 73.9% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 335 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.
