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 Naval Station Guantanamo Bay says otherwise: 76 percent of the 198 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.

Timing matters here. January and June have been the friendliest months, with retirees getting on 86 percent of reported flights at the top of that range. March has been the toughest at 53 percent. If your dates can move, move them.

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