Day Man Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 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.
stract Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 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...
C-21.Pilot Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 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).
Day Man Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 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...
discus Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 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?

Herkasaurus Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 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.

Herkasaurus Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 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.
Krypto Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 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.
brabus Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 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.
jazzdude Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 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.
brabus Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 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.
Rudy the Rabbit Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by Sabado Domingo
BADFNZ Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 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?
Guest Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 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

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.
RightRudder Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Anyone know why a traditional Guard/Reservists isn't allowed to use Space-A to travel anywhere OCONUS?
