How often this route flew

By raw volume, August and April saw the most departures on this route in the year ending October 2026, and February the fewest. The route was active in 12 of the 13 months on record.

Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 88 percent of the 48 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 October 2026:

Category III3 flights
Category V3 flights
Category VI42 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 52 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 44 seats and 5 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 39 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 19 flights posted to Yokota AB's board for Travis AFB in the last 120 days, 5 (26 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 7 (37 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 0 (0 percent) changed their seat count. That is a volatile route. Set a watch and check the morning of.
