Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 72 percent of the 76 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. Not a sure thing, but far from hopeless, and picking your month improves it.

The lowest category that made each reported flight, in the year ending September 2026:

Category I2 flights
Category II3 flights
Category III13 flights
Category V3 flights
Category VI55 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 90 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 4 seats and 2 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 2 Space-A seats empty. That is tight. This route fills, and being early in the sign-up order matters more here than the category rate alone suggests.
