MilSpaceA 3.1

The MilSpaceA app is a valuable tool for authorized U.S. government users who wish to register for Department of Defense (DoD) military space-available travel. It is the preferred app for all DoD travelers seeking a convenient and authorized method to sign up for Space-A at primary departure terminals. Even VISITING FAMILY MEMBERS and TDY military personnel and contractors are finding value in the MilSpaceA app beyond just space-a signup.

One of the standout features of the app is its expanded LOCAL INFO section, which includes useful details on billeting, car rental, dining options, Exchange information, links to air terminals' pages, USOs, and more. Additionally, the app provides an AIRCRAFT GALLERY that showcases depictions and basic descriptions of DoD pax aircraft. Users can also stay informed about TRAVEL ADVISORIES, which provide announcements regarding temporary conditions that may impact space-a travel.

The MilSpaceA app offers a user-friendly interface that allows travelers to easily browse through "Airfields of Interest" and access contact information for various terminals. Users can call ahead directly from the app (with call-enabled iPhones) or visit terminals' flight schedule pages if available. After gathering the necessary details, travelers can fill in their information, select departure airfields and destination countries, and send out their signup to register for travel. While some terminals may reply, responses are not guaranteed, so it's essential to retain a copy of the confirmation email as proof of signup.

Key features and benefits of the MilSpaceA app include:

• Remote space-a signup for multiple airfields
• Support for multiple branches (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Guard & Reserve)
• Compliance with Air Mobility Command rules
• No requirement for SSAN (Social Security Number) - an exclusive AMC-authorized Pseudo Person ID (PPID) is automatically generated
• Optional fields for DoD ID numbers, dates of birth, and passport information
• Full control of user data with the ability to purge anytime

The app has received positive feedback from users who have found it to be a valuable travel companion. LT shared, "My mom came to visit me and she used the app, too. It's great for anyone visiting [the base]." JD commented, "Amazing how easy this app made our trip. This and our books together, because weird or not, I still like the smell of paper." TT simply stated, "Great app. Very easy to use."

It's important to note that policies governing space-a travel are in place and must be adhered to. Eligibility should be determined before registering for travel, and any questions regarding eligibility can be addressed by contacting the local terminal.

Created and managed by a U.S. Air Force veteran who understands the challenges faced by space-a travelers, the MilSpaceA app has gained the trust and recommendation of thousands of users over the years.
