Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 82 percent of the 17 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 III3 flights
Category VI14 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 18 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 47 seats and 6 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 41 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.
