UA 758 lands a B, about a point better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 357 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

These figures cover 357 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 758 flies

UA 758 flies MSP to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:00, used on 243 of 357 flights. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 758 runs 6 points worse at 78.6%. 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 758 quarter by quarter

UA 758 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 90.1% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 66.3%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 89 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.

By weekday, UA 758 did best on Tuesday at 87.8% on time and worst on Saturday at 72.0%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 758 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 68% of the 4,416 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
1%

68% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 3,022 minutes out of 4,416, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 4,416 delay minutes reported on UA 758.

Cancellations sit at 1.40% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.4% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including ORD to IAD (31), ORD to DFW (21) and ORD to EWR (18), but none flew often enough under UA 758 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to ORD only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 357 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 758
