John D's Military Space A Travel Pages
About theses pages: I'm active duty military and was bitten by the Space-A bug in 1986 when I was looking for inexpensive ways to fly my family of 4 dependents to Ireland annually to visit grand-parents. In 2001, I created the Space-A FAQ to answer basic questions about Space-A travel. The FAQ expanded over the years to this collection of pages. I hope you find this info useful for your Space-A travels.
