CHANCES OF SPACE-A TRAVEL


There is no way to predict the chances of being selected as Space-Available passenger.

Many of our flights are fully booked or close to fully booked.  However, we have never had 100% of our passengers show for a flight.  We have passengers who arrive that are denied travel due to not being travel ready (i.e. incorrect/insufficient paperwork, incorrect passport/visa, etc.).  We also see passengers on official travel who have been advised to arrive at our terminal without a confirmed seat to attempt Standby travel, which takes priority over Space-Available travel.  There are many other factors that play into passenger selection such as: weight allowances, weather, how many passengers mark present for the flight, much of this information is not known until the roll call time.

At this time, Space Available passengers can only be marked present at the ticketing counter during our processing hours.  Processing hours are notated on our 72hr Schedule.  You must be marked present no later than 1 hour prior to roll call.  Selection is based upon your travel category and the date and time of your sign up.  The time you mark present does not bare weight upon the selection process. 

To request a sign up, you would email a copy of your travel documentation to: Seattle.Gateway@us.af.mil.

Active duty members need to be within their chargeable leave dates in order to sign-up. We will need to see a copy of your leave paperwork, EML form and any other necessary documents.

Dependents will need to present a copy of their Space-Available travel letter and EML form (if using)..
