Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 71 percent of the 21 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 November 2026:

Category III1 flight
Category IV3 flights
Category V2 flights
Category VI15 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 22 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 6 seats and 3 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 3 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.
