United on MYR to EWR lands a B−, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That rests on 148 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate United on MYR to EWR from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Departure window
When United runs best on this route
Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 148 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split United's MYR to EWR record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 80.7% is the reliable figure here.

United on MYR to EWR did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 97.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 63.3%, a swing of 34 points on roughly 49 flights a quarter.

Delay causes
Why United runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 2,369 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 42%National Airspace System
- 10%Carrier
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,369 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 48 to one. The split is drawn from 2,369 reported delay minutes.
42% 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 998 minutes out of 2,369, against a national NAS share of 21%.
Cancellations run at 4.73%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
12.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 550 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 return leg runs 83.2% on time across 148 flights, within 3 points of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 148 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 United on MYR to EWR
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.73% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 140 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
