How often this route flew

By raw volume, January and March saw the most departures on this route in the year ending September 2026, and February the fewest. The route was active in 13 of the 13 months on record.

Saturday is the day to watch: 50 of the 192 roll calls for this route, 26 percent, fell on a Saturday.

Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 94 percent of the 186 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 September 2026:

Category I1 flight
Category III7 flights
Category IV2 flights
Category V1 flight
Category VI175 flights

Timing matters on this route. August and May have been the friendliest months, with retirees getting on 100 percent of reported flights at the top of that range. June has been the toughest at 80 percent. If your dates can move, move them.

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 192 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 42 seats and 18 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 24 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.

How early did the last traveler who got on sign up? On the 19 flights where the terminal published a sign-up cutoff, the median was under a day before the flight. Read that as the floor, not the plan: sign up the moment you know your dates.

How much the posted schedule moved

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 51 flights posted to Travis AFB's board for JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam in the last 120 days, 7 (14 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 13 (25 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 17 (33 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
