These figures cover 293 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 715 flies

UA 715 flies CLE to FLL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 172 of 293 flights, with 07:15 (52 flights) and 07:30 (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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 715 runs 5 points better at 94.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

UA 715 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter UA 715 held fairly steady: 96.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 92.9% in Oct–Dec 2025, 89.2% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 97.4% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202578 flights96.2%
Oct–Dec 202570 flights92.9%
Jan–Mar 202667 flights89.2%

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 715 ranged from 89.6% on Sunday to 100.0% on Wednesday. With about 42 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why UA 715 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 46% of the 817 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.

National Airspace System
46%
Carrier
28%
Extreme weather
26%

Extreme weather accounts for 26% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 4.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 817 delay minutes reported on UA 715.

Cancellations are rare at 0.68%, 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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.

The 1,062 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including IAD to PBI (19), SFO to DFW (4) and ONT to DEN (4), but none flew often enough under UA 715 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLE to FLL only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 293 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 715

For a booking, UA 715 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 94.1% on time and 0.68% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
