Space Available Flight Eligibility |
A recent regulations change allows dependent family members of
permanently and totally disabled veterans to fly on space-available, or
Space-A, flights. The eligibility requirements for Space-A travel, added
dependents of permanently and totally disabled veterans. In 2019, those
veterans became eligible to fly Space-A on regularly scheduled military
passenger aircraft, joining retirees and their spouses; National Guard
and Reserve members on the Active Status List; and surviving spouses of
those who died on active duty. However, the dependents of those disabled
veterans were not allowed to accompany them on Space-A flights.
The regulation change states that dependents of permanently and totally
disabled veterans may accompany the veteran on flights within the
continental United States (CONUS) or on flights between CONUS and
Alaska, Hawaii or U.S. territories. Dependents cannot travel without the
veteran sponsor.
For up-to-date information and details, check out the Air Mobility
Command's Space-A travel website.
