Space-A Scout › Routes › Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to NAS Jacksonville
In the year ending September 2026, 114 Space-A flights went from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to NAS Jacksonville. That is about twice a week, and roughly 40 percent of Naval Station Guantanamo Bay's recorded departures. On the 86 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 January 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.
Friday is the day to watch: 69 of the 114 roll calls for this route, 61 percent, fell on a Friday.
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 I | 1 flight |
| Category II | 4 flights |
| Category III | 16 flights |
| Category IV | 2 flights |
| Category V | 1 flight |
| Category VI | 62 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.
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.
