Most of the time I'd say yes. There are times that you will wish you took commercial, but overall Space A is the way to go. It's really not that much of a hassle when things go smoothly. I mean you sign up on the list and a flight comes in going your direction, or even to where you want, you go to roll call, get a seat and process on. Processing is just like on a commercial flight. I know a good link that explains Space A to beginners. https://www.poppinsmoke.com/space-a-flights/. Also if you need to find a hotel, restaurant, phone number, hospital, transportation, activity and other things, this is a good website for that: http://ujspaceainfo.com/. That 2nd one is actually my website so feel free to click a few ads while you are there. There are also Space A groups to help answer questions for you. The main group is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/325711150854371/. Okay. Let me know if I can help you more.
