Space-A Scout › Routes › Naval Station Norfolk to JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst
Naval Station Norfolk sent 31 recorded Space-A flights to JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in the year ending November 2026, every week or two and about 13 percent of everything the terminal flew. On the 15 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 100 percent of the time.
By raw volume, June and August saw the most departures on this route in the year ending November 2026, and November the fewest. The route was active in 12 of the 13 months on record.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 100 percent of the 15 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 November 2026:
| Category VI | 15 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 22 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 14 seats and 0 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 14 Space-A seats empty. Some room most days, but not so much that showing up late is safe.
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 14 flights posted to Naval Station Norfolk's board for JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in the last 120 days, 2 (14 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 1 (7 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 0 (0 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
