Space-A Travel

Where can I find info on Space-Available travel?

Service members and their families can use Space-Available flights - formally known as Military Airlift Command or MAC flights - to travel around the country and world at little to no cost. Though sometimes unpredictable, military flights can be good for families with flexible plans and limited travel budgets. With the right planning and documentation, Space-A travel can be a good way to take a trip with your family.

Of course, these flights are not commercial, but rather military flights with a mission, which means there are certain restrictions to travel.  Once you sign up for a Space-A flight, you’ll be put into a category that determines your priority for a flight.

Most terminals have a Facebook page where they post flight information, including their 72-hour flight schedule, so you might want to check those out.
