Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 695, check with United Airlines.
UA 695 lands a B+, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by roughly 45 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 296 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

These figures cover 296 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 3 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 695 flies
UA 695 flies ORD to SJU without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:20, used on 153 of 296 flights, with 14:38 (94 flights) and 18:03 (49 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 14:20 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and UA 695 runs 4 points better at 76.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
UA 695 quarter by quarter
UA 695 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 84.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 57.1%, a swing of 27 points on roughly 74 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 202567 flights76.1%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights79.5%

Scale runs 50% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 695 did best on Saturday at 87.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 67.4%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 695 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 3,231 reported delay minutes.
- 35%Carrier
- 30%National Airspace System
- 25%Late-arriving aircraft
- 10%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, 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 1,138 of the 3,231 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,231 delay minutes reported on UA 695.
Cancellations are rare at 0.34%, 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
5.1% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last roughly 45 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 2,072 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 three other city pairs in the data, including ORD to RAP (67), RIC to ORD (37) and IAH to ORD (31), but none flew often enough under UA 695 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to SJU only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 296 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
