Description
Have a Plan. Register. Have a Back Up Plan. Make Roll Call. Get Selected. Get Airborne.
Or access LOCAL INFO--before you depart, just after arrival--anytime.
MilSpaceA app allows authorized U.S. government users to register for Department of Defense (DoD) military space-available travel. It is the exclusive app for all DoD travelers wanting a quick, easy, reliable, and authorized means to sign up for Space-A at primary departure terminals.
VISITING FAMILY MEMBERS and TDY military & contractors are now using MilSpaceA app as well--there's MUCH MORE here than just space-a signup.
Expanded LOCAL INFO: billeting, car rental, dining, Exchange info, links to air terminals' pages, USOs, & more.
AIRCRAFT GALLERY: depictions & basic descriptions of DoD pax aircraft
TRAVEL ADVISORIES - announcements of temporary conditions affecting space-a
SIGNUP ARCHIVE - stored in-app (as well as in user's own e-mail "Sent"items)
FOREIGN CURRENCY - daily exchange rates for AOIs
DOCUMENT LIBRARY: key space-a documents: policy, guides, handbooks, AMCGrams
ENHANCED ONLINE MAPPING: Your location shown relative to points of interest in the app (requires active geolocation & Internet access).
First, browse through "Airfields of Interest". Call ahead to various terminals (call-enabled for iPhone) or visit terminals’ flight schedule pages (if they have them--most don't). Then fill in your details, select departure airfields and destination countries, and send out the signup to register for travel. Some terminals will reply; most will not. Just keep a copy of e-mail(s) as proof of signup.
• Remote space-a signup for multiple airfields. Prepare off- or online--then transmit when you have connectivity.
• Multi-branch terminal support (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Guard & Reserve)
• Complies with Air Mobility Command rules: Signups generated by you, your e-mail as the sender & reply-to address. Copies saved directly in your e-mail Sent items, retrievable anytime.
• Data privacy: No SSAN required. Exclusive AMC-authorized Pseudo Person ID (PPID) auto-created. (Some Navy locations still insist on SSANs--contact them directly after signup to pass SSAN).
• NEW: Now includes optional fields for DoD ID numbers, dates of birth, and passport info.
• Full control of your data--ability to purge anytime.

Policies governing space-a are implemented in DoD Directive 4515.13-R (Air Transportation Eligibility) and AMCI 24-101 Vol 14. Determine your eligibility before registering for travel. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL TERMINAL if you have any questions of eligibility. Refer to http://www.amc.af.mil/amctravel for current official AMC policy. Utilize and support pepperd.com, spacea.net & takeahop.org for unofficial discussions, info, and desktop-based space-a signup.
Only after mission requirements are met will remaining seats be offered up for space-a. Be prepared for delays or short-notice diversions. Space-A is a privilege, not a right--movement is never guaranteed. UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF SPACE-A before signing up.
