Question about Military Space A travel?
Ok I have a question we are active duty military stationed in Germany and I have two stepsons who we want to come visit in the summer time. My question is can my husband and I ( or just my husband) take a space A flight to San Antonio,Tx to pick them up and take them back to Germany on a Space A flight? They are his dependents and have military ID's and passports. Also when taking them back can I got by myself on space A to drop them back off or does my husband have to be with us ( He is the actual Active duty member)? Thank you for Any information.

Yes, hubby can fly back, get them, and do the same again when it is time to go. And, as military on leave it puts him higher on the wait list. The down side is that he can't sign up until he is on leave. For spouses, you must have a letter from his commander authorizing you to fly, and the boys can only fly with their sponsor. Just be aware.... flights during the summer fill up very fast. Active duty in orders and DODEA teachers on summer break have priority. I've known lots of folks that have ended up paying full price for last minute tickets because of school timelines. Also, with the situation in Japan and Libya, much of the AF cargo fleet is otherwise occupied. We have folks deployed who are being put on hold for returning due to cargo aircraft availability.

usafbrat is correct. You are allowed to use Space A travel. The summer time and holiday seasons are the worst time trying to get Space A. I was stationed in K-town so i know you are flying out of Ramstein. I took a couple of flights from there and one time i had to wait 2 days. As the AF becomes busy with support missions the less space will be available for passengers. What the Commercial Airlines should make is special fares for Military Personnel stationed overseas. below find the Space A link. http://militaryliving.com/spacea/index.html
