If you make contingency plans (able to get back flying commercial, able to get a place to sleep if bumped, etc.) the service is great. Bear in mind that the majority of planes are cargo planes with netting and troop seats, not airline planes with comfortable seats and in-flight movies. They are generally cold and have no windows. As a vet, you will be category VI (lowest) and will be able to fly only after everybody else is called. For CPT Nicoll, the USAF and ANG have no choice but to allow you to fly and their personal feelings have no bearing. Everyone has a commanding officer and an OIC, and if the personnel at the passenger terminal are going against regulations, talk to that person before you give up.<br /><br />One caveat: Unless you are retired, I'm pretty sure your spouse cannot travel with you.Response by SFC Brian McDaris made May 29 at 2019 9:39 PM2019-05-29T21:39:04-04:002019-05-29T21:39:04-04:00LTC Robert Heimmel4680339<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am retired Army. 2 yrs.

My Brother lives in Chicago whom I've not seen in 25 years. On the West Coast it would be nice to fly back to see him on a affordable flight. Timothy K. RossResponse by PO3 Timothy K.

As PO1 Wendell says below, have cash or credit card available in case you must use a commercial flight to get back home from your away destination. This has happened to us as recently in January when we had to return home from Tokyo after taking C-17s from JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to Travis AFB and from there through JB Elmendorf-Richardson to Yokota AB in Japan. I had to take the every Friday commercial hop from BWI up to JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to get our car and drive back to the DC area.<br />Note also that your return may not be to the same Aerial Port of Embarkation from which you left. This problem has happened to us about half the time, most recently when we left from JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and flew to RAF Mildenhall, but our return was to Seymour-Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC. We rented a car to get back to DC but then had to take a C-17 from JB Andrews up to JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to again get the car. Fortunately, unlike BWI and SEATAC airports, military bases do not charge a fee for parking in their long-term parking lots.<br />But we have flown for free on both the USAF AMC flights as well as the Navy's system of C-40s (737s that are either all pax with 121 seats or half cargo-half pax with half those seats), within the US to California, Virginia, Washington State, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Delaware and to Europe and Japan.<br />You just need to plan well and have enough time to wait (or pay) for a return flight if nothing seems to be going your way.Response by COL Michael Doherty made May 29 at 2019 11:03 PM2019-05-29T23:03:24-04:002019-05-29T23:03:24-04:00PO2 Jim Reid4680515<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Would like to try itResponse by PO2 Jim Reid made May 29 at 2019 11:06 PM2019-05-29T23:06:46-04:002019-05-29T23:06:46-04:00Sgt Mark DePaula4680531<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Is it true that spouses are not allowed on the flights?<br />Just called Travis A.F.B. on May 31, 2019, only the 100% Veteran issue.

My husband and I (I have a disability retirement) drove from PHX to Travis and asked them to help us figure out the system. They were very helpful, signed us up for a flight to Japan that was leaving that afternoon enroute to AK first, then the next day to Yokota. We had no problem getting to Japan, spent one night and Easter morning, were bumped from the flight to HI but waited around for about an hour and were reinstated (everyone else had left, so it was just my husband and I and a family of three, one of which was a C-17 pilot). Had a repeat of Easter the next day in HI, spent an afternoon at Hickam PAX terminal before getting a flight back to Travis. No glitches to speak of, other than getting bumped a couple of times and waiting for the next flight. It was a great adventure, but we discussed things that we could do and things that we would need or not need if/when we fly Space-A again (for instance, we decided that a light blanket and a jacket are musts on these flights). We also carried a bag of snacks/food (bread and peanut butter, chips, water) with us so we wouldn't be dependent on having to buy food along the way should we be stranded somewhere.Response by LTC Martha Bauder made May 30 at 2019 12:21 AM2019-05-30T00:21:42-04:002019-05-30T00:21:42-04:00SGT Lamont Sherrill4680711<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>noResponse by SGT Lamont Sherrill made May 30 at 2019 12:38 AM2019-05-30T00:38:43-04:002019-05-30T00:38:43-04:00SGT Eugene Brooks4680713<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, I think Space, A should be available for all Veterans to use if and/or they are traveling by air.<br />I flew once from Dallas Texas to Athens, Georgia.

Space A is based on priority and military retirees and 100% disabled are at the bottom of the priority list. If you do try to fly during this time frame, be ready to spend several days waiting and have your credit card with you in case you have to fly commercial.

The real way to travel space A is that the travel IS the adventure. You have to accept and somehow enjoy waiting around AMC terminals for hours or days, calling in and coming in, then going somewhere else when you’re turned away. Meeting people, reading a book, etc. If you’re trying to go to a specific place, buy a ticket, but if you just want to get on a jet going anywhere you may be in luck here.Response by Lt Col John Tringali made May 30 at 2019 7:30 AM2019-05-30T07:30:10-04:002019-05-30T07:30:10-04:00Sgt Pedro Perez4681471<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Its a no brainer, spouses need to be allowed to travel with the Veteran.Response by Sgt Pedro Perez made May 30 at 2019 7:49 AM2019-05-30T07:49:10-04:002019-05-30T07:49:10-04:00SFC Mary McCarthy4681497<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, when I was active duty I was allowed on The Grey Ghost with Marines to go visit my children after a nasty divorce and child custody battle, my x won because he was seen as the custodial parent while I traveled for work.

Stephen Carter US army retired4681546<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>For about the first ten to twelve years after I was medically retired, I would use Space-A whenever I wanted to go anywhere AMC had a aircraft going. Usually it would be in a C-130 within the United States. Every once in a while it would be a commercial airline flight the Government had chartered for overseas flights. I would also try to stay in the BEQ and use the chow-hall whenever possible during my trips. I could get by on less than $20 a day in that case, where if I had to stay in a hotel the room alone would take $40 or more a day. I haven't tried to catch a hop since I lost the use of my legs over a decade ago. My last trip was from Little Rock AFB to Hickam AFB and back.

(note official dependents can fly Cat 3 if accompanying AD on Leave)<br />Category 4 Unaccompanied dependents on EML. (I believe CAT 4 or 5 is what unaccompanied dependents of AD can fly who are not on EML..but likely it's CAT 5)<br />Category 5 Permissive Temporary Duty and students.<br />Category 6 Retirees.<br /><br />Good day to you Veterans especially you who are combat disabled. My sincere thanks to you and your family who continues to support you. In my 21 years of serve (currently AD) I have had success with SPACE A based on ~9 CONUS and OCONUS flights. <br />Granted, as AD my wife and I have the current benefit of a higher priority when traveling together on leave. However I have noticed most AMC (Air Mobiliy Commands) have facebook pages which provided great info from the AMC as well as from frequent fliers (presumably retired).<br /> <br />Example: Joint Base Andrews Passenger Terminal - Home | Facebook<br /><br />Those Frequent Fliers sometimes post historical analysis on best months to travel for that particular AMC (Microsoft Excel Snapshot). With some analysis of seats released on what category flyers get a SPACE A seat, you can significantly increase your chances of choosing the right AMC of departure and return if you keep supply and demand in mind. I have noticed some responses have included some AMC's that should be avoided which is also good info. I have noticed similar issues wiith certain air crews and pilots working against the SPACE A system or exploiting it (releasing less seats so they can be more comfortable or to accomodate stuff they buy for arbitrage). As a Marine, I have had more positive experiences with the Airmen at AMC's but there is always that 10%+ that often harm the reputation of the majority so I would not rule out any AMC unless you have a good evidence based reason to do so (like they only have small planes and hardly release any SPACE A seats).<br /><br />I recommend studying the supply and demand of AMCs of interest to include timing (Flying when kids are out of school and during summer and winter rotations is not advised). I hope this is at least somewhat helpful for you and you are able to explore some more of our great country as well as the world God has provided.Response by Maj Private RallyPoint Member made May 30 at 2019 9:58 AM2019-05-30T09:58:38-04:002019-05-30T09:58:38-04:00PO2 William Overman4682196<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No I have not used AMC before.Response by PO2 William Overman made May 30 at 2019 10:35 AM2019-05-30T10:35:30-04:002019-05-30T10:35:30-04:00SPC Robert Alford4682274<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>noResponse by SPC Robert Alford made May 30 at 2019 10:57 AM2019-05-30T10:57:33-04:002019-05-30T10:57:33-04:00Capt Wendy Walker4682357<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>How do I learn more about flights out of Minot NDResponse by Capt Wendy Walker made May 30 at 2019 11:25 AM2019-05-30T11:25:39-04:002019-05-30T11:25:39-04:00SGT Lafretia Yeggins4682419<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>How can I get a itenary of the upcoming trip from Ellington Airfield, Texas?Response by SGT Lafretia Yeggins made May 30 at 2019 11:46 AM2019-05-30T11:46:34-04:002019-05-30T11:46:34-04:00SGT Daniel Callaghan4682430<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. <br />Last time was returning to Hawaii from NY when the Oklahoma City bombing occurred.

In the late 60's, I used to always trade in my "guaranteed round trip" ticket, required to get a weekend pass. Most often, I'd then go for the $25 "standby ticket", and either Delta or then Eastern would accept either standby ticket, (sometimes frantically running between separate terminals in Atlanta). Occasionally when bumped, I learned you can go out on the flight line and pick up a private aircraft flight that beats the airline. Once I had only 4 hours to get back to work in Beaufort 350 miles away, so I went to my (primarily local private aircraft) airport. There was a National Guard C-135, just uncommonly sitting there. Asking where they were headed and when, they said in 15 minutes, back to Savannah. After changing into my work uniform, they allowed me on, and I made it back in time for work, promptly at 1630. Lots of travelling inexpensively, sometimes I didn't get to my destination as planned, (like when MLK was shot in Memphis), but I always made it back in time, and not AWOL! Be flexible, but ready for instant changes or disappointment. I think it is a great policy to give the disabled vets this benefit, and they should also be given priority. But, I also think they should also allow anyone like a spouse aboard, if needed for their support!Response by Cpl Alan Welsh made May 30 at 2019 2:26 PM2019-05-30T14:26:13-04:002019-05-30T14:26:13-04:00Sgt Johnathan Nicholson4682972<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Due to (TBI), instability, AO, and other infirmaties I need my spouse's support and assistance.

A lot of waiting and luck involved back then. <br /><br />I appreciate Uncle Sam allowing the 100% disability benefit, but as with everyone else that meets this requirement and are physically restricted in movement, is this a feasible benefit if the spouse is the primary caregiver? And I would guess that the spouse is the main travel companion also. Doesn’t seem like it was a well thought out proposal when it was being constructed. Maybe they can amend it when they realize the awkwardness of a benefit that can’t be used by a 100% veteran. Good try, but no cigar.Response by SP5 George Smith made May 31 at 2019 2:59 PM2019-05-31T14:59:10-04:002019-05-31T14:59:10-04:00GySgt Kevin Brunetti4686153<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The only issue is if they cancel the flight and you get stuck.Response by GySgt Kevin Brunetti made May 31 at 2019 3:29 PM2019-05-31T15:29:58-04:002019-05-31T15:29:58-04:00MAJ James Holberton4686309<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My wife and I traveled by car from Atlanta to Charleston, SC to catch and hop to England via Europe. We did it twice. The first time we flew on a contract aircraft the day after the Berlin wall and when we landed in Frankfurt. We were deboarded and had to take our luggage to a set of storage lockers in the middle of the airfield. We were then allowed to pass through concertina wire to get to the terminal. Guards with dogs and weapons walked the area. We logged in and were available to catch the next flight to England. There were no quarters of hotels at midnight so our fellow travelers and we went to an all night snack bar on base. At 5:00 AM we ran to the terminal to check in to catch a C-130 going to England. We road sling seats and wore ear protectors. My wife and I had a great time meeting people, playing cards, and sharing stories of folks from all branches and mixed families. We visited our daughter and her Air Force husband and our three grandchildren in England. We returned on a C-141 coming back but as we left England the plane could not pressurize so we landed back in Germany. The next morning we flew through an airport in Maine and then back to Charleston. It was a wonderful trip.<br /><br /><br />Our next trip to England was more eventful. We left Charleston going to Madrid Spain. The C-141 had an autogiro problem and we swayed to the left and then swayed to the right all the way across the Atlantic. We had to wait a couple days at the Madrid base and then caught a plane going through Aviano Italy to Frankfurt. We had to stay overnight and had the best Italian meal we have ever had in basement of the Officers Club. The next morning we caught a flight into England to stay with our daughter and her family. Again we met some really wonderful folks of different backgrounds and experiences while playing cards. When we left England our aircraft had a problem that delayed us and we ended up landing in the Azores for several hours to repair the problem. We then made it back to Charleston and had more stories to tell. We have truly enjoyed flying SpaceA and would tell any retiree or military person to do it but make sure you have time to be redirected to unknown locations that create more adventures. Thank You.Response by MAJ James Holberton made May 31 at 2019 4:25 PM2019-05-31T16:25:36-04:002019-05-31T16:25:36-04:00SPC Jonathan Schaefer4686656<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why cant your spouse fly.it does no good if she cant fly.My Father in law is on his deathbed.I. need to fly to Houston AsapResponse by SPC Jonathan Schaefer made May 31 at 2019 6:58 PM2019-05-31T18:58:09-04:002019-05-31T18:58:09-04:00MSgt Don Miller4688199<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Space A is NOT the regular scheduled airlines!! Mission requirements override all Space A seat allocation. There are times pax may be bumped at a scheduled stop if on loaded cargo won’t permit non active duty or aircrew only personnel. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s a possibility. As a space A pax, always have money available to get a commercial flight if you get bumped. Almost ALL military passenger terminal personnel will go the extra mile to help, BUT, you accept the risk of interrupted travel plans. <br />Also, YOUR attitude will probably affect your outcome!!Response by MSgt Don Miller made Jun 1 at 2019 9:32 AM2019-06-01T09:32:01-04:002019-06-01T09:32:01-04:00A1C Norman Cross4688355<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>noResponse by A1C Norman Cross made Jun 1 at 2019 10:44 AM2019-06-01T10:44:00-04:002019-06-01T10:44:00-04:00SPC Donald Mingie4689182<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My wife is my caregiverResponse by SPC Donald Mingie made Jun 1 at 2019 5:56 PM2019-06-01T17:56:32-04:002019-06-01T17:56:32-04:00PO3 Michael Gary4689636<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why aren’t caregivers allowed to accompany 100% disabled veterans?
