Gateways that flew to JB Elmendorf-Richardson fewer than twelve times, or whose last flight there was more than ninety days ago, are left off rather than padded. They still show on the live boards when they post.
Frequency is chances; the category rate is odds per chance; empty seats tell you whether a low rate means a full airplane or an empty roll call. A gateway that runs the route most days at 80 percent usually beats one that runs it monthly at 95. Then pick the month: the timing guide has the year-wide pattern and each route page has its own. Then sign up at every gateway you might use, because sign-ups are free and the date is your place in line.
