Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 96 percent of the 51 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 October 2026:

Category III2 flights
Category VI49 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 51 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 52 seats and 16 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 36 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 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 20 flights posted to Travis AFB's board for Yokota AB in the last 120 days, 5 (25 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 5 (25 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 6 (30 percent) changed their seat count. That is a volatile route. Set a watch and check the morning of.
