Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call, and the fear is that nothing is left by then. The record at Andersen AFB says otherwise: 81 percent of the 158 reported flights had room by the time Cat VI was called. Not a sure thing, but far from hopeless, and picking your month improves it.

By raw volume, June and September saw the most departures in the year ending November 2026, and April the fewest. A busy month means more chances, not better odds, and both numbers matter when you pick a window.

Do it 45 to 60 days before you want to travel, because your place in line at roll call is your sign-up date, and a sign-up is good for 60 days.

One caution worth passing on. These counts cover the roll calls that get published. Terminals miss days and some flights never make the public boards, so the true number is higher than any tracker can see. And the terminal always has the final word: call before you drive.
