Pm me with your email address for the full PDF

In recognition of the sustained efforts of spouses and military children of our deployed military members, when a military member’s deployment is for 120 consecutive days or more, spouses and dependent children are authorized to travel Space “A” unaccompanied in Category IV.

It is the military, what do you expect?

SO cool!!! I hope it helps out families and they get to be with their spouse sooner.

dh was telling me about that last night. it's a great thing as long as you don't get bumped off your flight, since active duty and cargo come before you. it would suck to fly somewhere and then get bumped off your flight, or get redirected to somewhere else.

I've known of quite a few who have flown to Guam via Space-A. Just BE sure to bring along a passport in case you need to hop onto a commercial airline in order to return back...
