Space-A Scout › Routes › Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to Fort Lauderdale
Naval Station Guantanamo Bay sent 106 recorded Space-A flights to Fort Lauderdale in the year ending September 2026, about twice a week and about 38 percent of everything the terminal flew. On the 76 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 72 percent of the time.
By raw volume, August and July saw the most departures on this route in the year ending September 2026, and April the fewest. The route was active in 13 of the 13 months on record.
Monday is the day to watch: 33 of the 106 roll calls for this route, 31 percent, fell on a Monday.
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 I | 2 flights |
| Category II | 3 flights |
| Category III | 13 flights |
| Category V | 3 flights |
| Category VI | 55 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.

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.
