Just wondering if any of you out there have ever used this method of travel? Seems like a great way to do a very flexible vacation...Though I've only heard two stories about space A....one involved lots of  and the other was all around good...I want to hear all good or bad... |

If you travel Space A be prepared when you do not get on a flight home to pay full price for tickets to board a plane that afternoon. That gets quite costly, quite quickly! I have never attempted it in the Lower 48 but I would go from Kodiak to Anchorage and back on Space A, that was rarely ever a problem. But in CONUS, you can get bumped for so many reasons and being a dependent, you get tossed even quicker!
My boyfriend is former Army. He was coming home from Germany. He flew with the Army skydiving team, the Golden Knights from Germany back to the states. That part was pretty easy. It was looking really good for a flight from Bragg to Sacramento... suddenly a bunch of guys on orders showed up. He was out, he ended up taking Greyhound from Ft Bragg to Roseburg, OR. Let me tell you, that was one really long tiring trip. He should have just had airline tickets from North Carolina to Oregon. |

It's just like flying standby in the civilian world - don't do it if you have to be somewhere anytime soon. |

Space travel?
i have never traveled this way before, i think a flight to space is close to a million dollars, and only the elite rich can afford it. i dont think its truly in space either, i think its on the far outer rim of our atmosphere. good luck with your plan!!!!!!!!! |

Chris,
For my money nothing beats the Millennium Falcon. She's the fastest hunk o' junk in the galaxy. |

Nice Pepper. But, it's missing the signature orange stripe!  |
