These figures cover 362 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 December 2025 | 4 hours 42 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 6 August 2026 | 3 hours 30 minutes | Carrier |
| 17 April 2026 | 2 hours 29 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why UA 732 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 3,764 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%Carrier
- 21%National Airspace System
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,764 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 48 to one. The split is drawn from 3,764 delay minutes reported on UA 732.
Cancellations are rare at 0.28%, below the national 1.89% 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
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 an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 680 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 SNA to DEN (37), FLL to DEN (31) and SMF to DEN (24), but none flew often enough under UA 732 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to MSP only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 362 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 732
