Other benefits: Space-available travel



Retirees and their families can get seats aboard government aircraft under the military’s space-available program, which offers empty seats to certain members of the military community.

Retirees can use space-A to fly stateside, overseas or between the U.S. and overseas. Nominal fees are charged only on some international flights using commercial aircraft or airports.

The program has restrictions. Reservists who have qualified for military retirement but are under age 60 (not yet drawing retired pay) are eligible only for stateside travel. Family members of retirees are eligible only for overseas flights and only when accompanied by the retiree.

Retirees have the lowest priority for seats aboard space-A flights and may have to take a commercial flight if seating is not available.
