These figures cover 262 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

A 09:05 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and UA 792 runs 9 points worse at 74.6%. 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 792 quarter by 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.

Share of 260 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 25 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 2 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 43 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at DEN.
The worst days
Worst days for UA 792
The latest arrival of the period was on 19 December 2025, 3 hours 28 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. The five worst days are spread across December, May, March, October and April, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 December 2025 | 3 hours 28 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 17 May 2026 | 3 hours 24 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 792 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 58% of the 3,452 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%National Airspace System
- 27%Carrier
- 11%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%Extreme weather
58% 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 1,990 minutes out of 3,452, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 3,452 delay minutes reported on UA 792.
Cancellations are rare at 0.76%, 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
6.5% 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 roughly 50 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DEN to ELP (103), IAD to DEN (47) and DEN to CID (21), but none flew often enough under UA 792 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to OMA to DEN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 262 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
