Today on the podcast I talk with Jessica Baddeley and she is telling me all about how to fly Space-A. Space-A means space available and is a service the military provides for members and families in certain situations. If there is space available on a military flight that is already going somewhere you could possibility get on that flight for free! However, it’s not that easy.
Jessica tells us exactly where to start in the processes by going to SpaceA.net and then finding your terminal's Facebook page to get information on flights that might be going out near you. She then explains what documents you need in order to fly Space A this also depends on what category you are in, which she explains as well.
Jessica then lays out what you should be doing 2 weeks before you want to fly, 48 hours, and the day of! She makes is clear that you are giving your time instead of your money. It takes her on average about 18 hours to get from Hawaii to California and the flight is only 5 hours. That is a lot of waiting time. But hey, if you are saving $1500 it’s worth it!
We talk about the worst times to fly Space-A because it is so busy: summer, holidays, and school holidays! So even if you don’t have school age children check the calendar of your local area and the area you are going to and make sure it won’t be busy because school is out. Jessica also gives good tips on what to bring like wear layers, get this ear protection (for kids), and everyone must wear closed toed shoes!
