How Space-A travel actually works.

Space-A is organized into six priority categories (Cat I through Cat VI). Your category controls when you board and who else you can bring — spouse, dependents, or only yourself. Use our eligibility wizard to figure out your category in under a minute.

There are 40+ AMC passenger terminals worldwide — Travis, Ramstein, Kadena, Norfolk, and many more. Each has its own signup process, hours, and contact info. Our terminal directory gives you the phone numbers, VRC links, and Patriot Express flags for every one of them.

AMC releases a 72-hour flight schedule for each terminal. We parse those PDFs and put every flight on an interactive map, so you can see at a glance which destinations are realistic for your dates. No login required to preview.

Once you pick your terminal and window, you send a signup email. Every terminal wants it formatted slightly differently — miss a field, and you go to the bottom of the list. Our signup generator produces the exact right email for each terminal, so you don’t have to hunt for the format.

ID, orders, passport, pet paperwork, kids’ birth certificates — what you need depends on your category, where you’re going, and who’s coming with you. Our checklist filters by your situation so you arrive with nothing missing.

Arrive a few hours early, check in, and wait for roll call. They call names in priority order until the plane is full. If you make it on — you fly free. If you don’t, you roll over to the next flight. Our tracker helps you see how competitive each roll call looks before you commit.
