Flying on military Space A is one of the better privileges awarded to military members, active and retired. Here are some of the ways to improve your chances of obtaining a seat on a flight.
There are a few good strategies to remember to gain as much of an advantage as possible.
Show Up
Show up at the terminal when you still have 10-15 days left on your sign up. Most sign-ups are for 60 days, but some of the Navy locations are only 45 days. By getting there around this time you are high enough on the list to have some seniority, but still have time enough to wait in case a flight doesn’t come in right away, or one that you thought you would be attempting to get on that day, gets canceled.
Stay at the Terminal
Another thing that has gotten some lower category personnel on flights ahead of less informed higher categories personnel is to never leave the passenger terminal until you are sure that the flight has already departed.
