UA1418 pushes back an average of 10.8 minutes late and arrives a further 2.2 minutes behind that. This departure loses ground between the two gates rather than recovering it, so a late pushback here tends to get worse on the way, not better.

On arrival at MIA, UA1418 spends 13.8 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is 4.0 minutes longer than a typical MIA arrival (9.7 min).

Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 61,874 DEN departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 349,140 arrivals at MIA. More on taxi time.
