The Baltimore-Washington International Airport to JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst run came up 38 times in the year ending October 2026, every week or two. On the 29 of those where the terminal reported who made the cut, Category VI travelers, the retirees and veterans at the back of the line, got a seat 90 percent of the time.
By raw volume, July and April saw the most departures on this route in the year ending October 2026, and December the fewest. The route was active in 13 of the 13 months on record.
Friday is the day to watch: 37 of the 38 roll calls for this route, 97 percent, fell on a Friday.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 90 percent of the 29 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. Those are good odds by any standard.
The lowest category that made each reported flight, in the year ending October 2026:
| Category III | 1 flight |
| Category V | 2 flights |
| Category VI | 26 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 38 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 5 seats and 0 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 5 Space-A seats empty. Some room most days, but not so much that showing up late is safe.
A schedule on the 72-hour board is a plan, not a promise, and on this route the record says how much of a plan. Of the 10 flights posted to Baltimore-Washington International Airport's board for JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in the last 120 days, 0 (0 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 0 (0 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 0 (0 percent) changed their seat count. Unusually steady for Space-A, which makes this a good route to plan around.
