Space-A Scout › Routes › Joint Base Andrews to JB Charleston
Joint Base Andrews sent 35 recorded Space-A flights to JB Charleston in the year ending October 2026, every week or two and about 19 percent of everything the terminal flew. On the 34 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 94 percent of the time.
By raw volume, May and April saw the most departures on this route in the year ending October 2026, and March the fewest. The route was active in 12 of the 14 months on record.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 94 percent of the 34 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 | 2 flights |
| Category VI | 32 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 35 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 50 seats and 1 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 49 Space-A seats empty. That is a lot of room, and it is why the Category VI number above is as good as it is.
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 11 flights posted to Joint Base Andrews's board for JB Charleston in the last 120 days, 3 (27 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 2 (18 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 0 (0 percent) changed their seat count. That is a volatile route. Set a watch and check the morning of.
