How to choose

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.

By the record, Yokota AB: Category VI made the cut on 96 percent of its 33 reported flights to JB Elmendorf-Richardson in the year ending September 2026. Read that with the seat numbers on the route page, since a roomy route with a slightly lower rate can be the better bet.
