Or visit terminals’ flight schedule pages (if they have them--most don't) Then fill in your details, select departure airfields & destination countries & send out the signup to register for travel. Some terminals will reply; most will not. Just keep a copy of e-mail(s) as proof of signup

Policies governing space-a travel are implemented in DoD Directive 4515.13-R (Air Transportation Eligibility) and AMCI 24-101 Vol 14. Determine your eligibility before registering for travel. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL TERMINAL if you have any questions of eligibility. Refer to http://www.amc.af.mil/amctravel for current official AMC policy. Utilize and support pepperd.com, spacea.net & takeahop.org for unofficial discussions, info, and desktop-based space-a signup.

Only after military mission requirements are met will remaining seats be offered up for space-a. Be prepared for delays or short-notice diversions. Space-A is a privilege, not a right--movement is never guaranteed. UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF SPACE-A before signing up.

Ratings and reviews

For me, and perhaps others, the most critical piece of information this app can provide is quick and easy access to current 72 and 24 hour deparure schedules. I've now tried a half dozen of the busiest AMC Terminals and no luck. The links are incorrect or get you to a page where you have to dig for the schedules or yet another link to them. Thanks for the static installation information...for that you deserve credit, but we really need those schedules!

I know it is only a few $$, but a complete waste of money - and time... and HUGE disappointment! Nearly 0 info that I wanted and expected. Mainly just phone numbers and how to sign up. I WANTED and NEED links to the lists of flights. THOUGHT this would be a 'one stop shop, for lack of better terms, that I could have access to actual flight info, but I have yet to find anything even close to that.

I love the app. lf people don't want to enable location, why force them. I understand if I don't enable location, app cannot give me closest airfield. In previous versions of app on older phones my internet was always slow, this was pain to wait for. So disabled it. I know airfields closest to me. I do not need app to push this on me. Sometimes I'm just researching locations & don't need the lag that comes with spotty connections while waiting for something I don't need. Let us disable it please.
