This week, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in NJ flew to Iceland and Alaska, and McChord out of Washington flew to Lakenheath in the UK, to name a few interesting flights. It's the start of PCS season, so you'll notice there were not many Space-A seats available on a few of the Patriot Express flights (see Sea-Tac and Norfolk roll calls) towards the end of May. All seats to Ramstein from BWI were filled, with quite a few people not making the cut this time. It's going to be a little trickier to get overseas from here on out, so good luck!
Military Space-A Air travel is all about finding available seats. Here is a snapshot of the major CONUS and OCONUS Passenger Terminals' available seats and usage for May 22nd to May 29th. This information can give you an overview of the best time of the year to travel Space-A Air and the best destinations.
