This is an overview of 10 things to know about flying Military Space-A on the Patriot Express. There are many benefits to flying on Patriot Express when possible. As a DoD contracted commercial air carrier, they feature comfortable assigned airline seating, inflight meals, movies and civilian flight crews. They are a great option particularly for disabled travelers or passengers with mobility limitations and they are much warmer than flying in military cargo aircraft. There are, however, route and other limitations to consider. I hope this information is useful to you.

Excellent video and great points. As a former C17 Loadmaster, we often departed from our home base (March ARB, Riverside, CA) without one single passenger. We often departed with a completely empty C17. Learn the Space-A rules and regs. Talk to others who are Space-A junkies. Hit me up if you have a question, I might be able to answer it. Try it one time and be flexible. Good Luck my Space A family.

March ARB is one of my favorite bases to fly out of! Virtually, no competition, great crews, and top notch terminal staff!

I flew the patriot express three times. Once from Norfolk to Rota, Osan to Seattle, and BWI to Ramstein. It's definitely more comfortable than military planes. I did noticed, especially in Travis, that most people show up for the patriot express flights. It could be useful, because if there's another flight heading to same destination after the PE departs, there's a bigger chance of getting a seat. Awesome information and video!

As I am approaching retirement from the civilian world, I am looking at taking a few adventures with Space A. I enjoy hearing about your travels and advice. I am not retired military, but a hundo club member. Hopefully it will be open to non US locations soon. Thank you for your word of wisdom. Does your wife ever appear on camera and provide advice for the spouse from her perspective?

Thank you for your comment and for supporting my channel. The feedback I get from our fellow veterans is that space-a travel is widely considered their favorite military benefit and one that I certainly enjoy. I hope that you are able to plan some adventures soon. As for my wife, appearing on youtube is not her cup of tea, so folks are left with my ugly mug only on this channel for now. Thanks again!

Very well done. We just had our first Space A out of SEATAC to Osan. Our son is stationed at Camp Humphrys. Our first Space A trip was very good. We got on the flights we hoped to make, and were surprised when we got called out to wait in the VIP lounge when we stopped to refuel in Misowa.

Last summer I was able to fly the BWI PE to and from Mildenhall to visit my daughter in the UK. It was my first Space A experience since retirement and it was a joy to be able to get on those flights. As most know, that PE flight is no longer available at this time, so I will most likely need to catch something to Ramstein and then obtain transport to the UK via commercial means.

I was stationed at Dover in the early 2000s and Dover usually have about 2-4 flights to Ramstein daily on military planes.

I'm planning a trip from Travis AFB to Dover sometime this year, just to check things out there and at a couple of other installations on the East Coast.

Excellent video Cliff. Quick question. Everyone talks about "PCS season", yet no one is sharing the "secret" as to when this is. LOL

@CliffWagner Ай бұрын

Summer is generally considered the main PCS season. Beginning in May and running through August competition ramps up, particularly for Patriot Express flights. Thanks again for supporting the channel!

So I am brand new to space A. Service connection was just changed to 100% P+T so this travel is now an option. Am I understanding this right. (yes I watched you boot camp) You just sign up, it's good for 60 days and I can pick a flight and just show up on time and say hi I'm me can I have a seat.. It's that easy

@CliffWagner 2 ай бұрын

You and any eligible dependents can fly military space-a within the continental United States CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and all US territories. You will need to get your military ID and to do so, you can just take your disability award letter from the VA that certifies you as 100% DAV P&T. You should be able to print that from your myhealthevet account. Make an appointment at a USID facility and once you have your ID, you are ready to register to fly and ready to compete for seats. Good luck on your first adventure!

@@CliffWagner Is Patriot Express the same as normal Space A that the sign up is only good for 60 days?

@CliffWagner Ай бұрын

@@jonvallejo6456 Yes sir - when you sign up, you are only signing up to depart one or more passenger terminals. That sign up process is the same whether you end up on a Patriot Express flight or a cargo aircraft. When you mark yourself present, you then compete for available flights.
