MilLife GuidesTravel Planning
Overview
Consider Space-A Travel
Service members and their families can use Space-A flights to travel. Though sometimes unpredictable, military flights are perfect for families with flexible plans and limited travel budgets. You can sign up for a Space-A flight through a military terminal up to 60 days in advance.
BENEFITS FOR Space-A travelTake advantage of TSA Precheck®
Service members and their families can take advantage of TSA Precheck to expedite waiting time at the airport when flying commercial. Simply use your Defense Department ID as your known traveler number. You’ll bypass long security lines without removing your shoes or jacket or having to take your laptop out of your bag.
Get military discounts through American Forces TravelSM
Eligible members of the military community can use American Forces Travel℠ to book leisure travel online. The one-stop travel booking site is a joint service initiative that offers discounts on airfare, rental cars, flights, cruises and more. You can use the website to book your next trip, while helping to fund other current and future MWR programs.
Military families can get vacation discounts through MWR’s American Forces TravelSM.
Visit the American Forces TravelSM website to see if you are eligible. Eligible service members include active military, Guard, reserves, U.S. Coast Guard, retired military and all eligible MWR patrons.
Save money with a staycation
A staycation is a vacation where you discover your local area while avoiding the time, hassle and expense of travel. Consider these benefits: sleeping in your own bed, not needing to pack and spending your money on fun activities in your own community. Your MWR program can help you find the best local activities.
Trimming your budget doesn’t mean doing away with fun altogether. Listen to this podcast to find out how your local MWR department is full of options that won’t break the bank.
Travel benefits for college students
Military family members enrolled in colleges away from an active-duty parent’s OCONUS duty station are eligible for travel benefits. The government will pay for one round trip each fiscal year for college students if they meet certain requirements. This travel benefit must be authorized through the service member’s command and be completed through the military travel office.
Military family members enrolled in colleges away from their active-duty parent’s OCONUS duty station are eligible for travel benefits. Read the article above for more benefit information.
