Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 72 percent of the 86 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 I1 flight
Category II4 flights
Category III16 flights
Category IV2 flights
Category V1 flight
Category VI62 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 102 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 33 seats and 15 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 18 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.

How much the posted schedule moved

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 15 flights posted to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay's board for NAS Jacksonville 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 6 (40 percent) changed their seat count. Unusually steady for Space-A, which makes this a good route to plan around.
