January 26, 201411 yr I wouldn't count on it...even if there's a line going from LTAG-FJDG, you probably won't be allowed to Space-A D2 the airspace you transit.
January 26, 201411 yr rog, thanks. has anyone used the MilSpaceA app, and did you think it was worth the $3.99 price? I saw it on takeahop.com...
January 26, 201411 yr No. If you want to space-A, the best option is to get a SMS account and do research. Expect to be delayed quite often and have a sense of humor (and humility).
January 26, 201411 yr It can't be any better than SMS. You need a CAC reader to use SMS, but it is free and will give you the "most" accurate info. Also (like I mentioned before), shotgun your Space-A request to every Pax terminal you can find. If it comes down to date signed up, you want to have to best chance (especially if you're at the end of your timeline). PM me with any other ?'s...
July 24, 201411 yr Question for the masses: let's say I have a rotator scheduled out of BWI next Wednesday to OTBH which stops at ETAR. Let's also say that I wanted to leave BWI for ETAR on Saturday and drink beer in Germany for a couple days before picking up my scheduled rotator to OTBH from ETAR. How would I go about trying to get on the earlier flight?

May 21, 201510 yr Anyone ever Space A'd out of Jackson, MS or know any of the dudes out there? I have an SMS account but I'd like to touch base with them before the trip leaves since I'm trying to take the family and burn some of my 36 days use/lose.

May 23, 201510 yr https://www.172aw.ang.af.mil/spacea.asp I emailed them 2 weeks ago but didn't get a response. I'll try calling...I have the mission number and all that, so hopefully it'll be pretty simple. Thanks though.
May 28, 20169 yr Anybody have gouge on traveling "space required"? I'm trying to get a ride to/from TDY location. Both origin and destination are OCONUS. Passenger terminal said its not doable, but i think that's because I was using the wrong terminology. Commercial air is available, just looking for more options.
May 28, 20169 yr I've only heard the term "space required" used around a deployed AOR....essentially the same thing as "space available" anywhere else. They're both "standy by" in airline speak, you show 69 hours before your flight, and every passenger terminal has a different SOP regarding required paperwork, stamps, etc. Commercial is a million times better if that's an option.
May 28, 20169 yr Pretty sure space required means you have a ULN, like you would traveling around (or to) the AOR. In other words, whoever is paying for the mission has said you are a required passenger on the mission when they put in their request to transcom for lift.
May 28, 20169 yr Having a ULN and Space-R are not synonymous. Logically it would seem that way, but the AF doesn't use logic. Space-R is everyone who doesn't have a ULN. Ops tested several times recently.
May 31, 20169 yr If you have tdy/pcs orders, you're space R to where you're going. You have priority over leave, ptdy, space a., etc. it doesn't matter if you have commercial backup tickets. Edited May 31, 20169 yr by Sabado Domingo
June 11, 20196 yr Thread bump. Never flown Space-A and wanting to try it to get to ETAR. Which east coast base would be my best bet to catch a ride out there? What's the latest system/app for checking itineraries?
June 11, 20196 yr Check the pax terminal Facebook pages. Charleston is probably your best bet, but Dover and McGuire are definitely worth checking as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 12, 20196 yr Thread bump. Never flown Space-A and wanting to try it to get to ETAR. Which east coast base would be my best bet to catch a ride out there? What's the latest system/app for checking itineraries? BWI Patriot Express is your best bet. Twice a week each way.Latest app is Facebook.
August 5, 20196 yr Anyone know why a traditional Guard/Reservists isn't allowed to use Space-A to travel anywhere OCONUS?
