What we know about UA2249

What flying PHX to SFO takes

It is a short-haul sector, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. United Airlines needs a narrowbody such as an A320 or 737 family aircraft: comfortably inside single-aisle range with fuel to spare for a diversion. In daylight the sun sits on the left (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign UAL2249 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 39 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-28. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

UA2249 activity in the past 7 days

How much CO2 does UA2249 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 737-700, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown1,047 km
AircraftBoeing 737-700
Fuel burn rate3.21 kg per km
Fuel burned3,362 kg
CO2, whole flight10.6 tonnes
Seats, typical layout126
Passengers carried105 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger101 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 101 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy111 seats, 92 flown
84 kg CO2 per seat
Business15 seats, 12 flown
243 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, UA2249 emits what 177 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 595 km, or 2,891 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 926 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 1,047 km unadjusted. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put UA2249 against another flight.
