Space Available Travel: Need a Little Help

[Jim Plona]

I have never tried to use SA travel.  I am retired and 100% service connected, so I'm confident we qualify.

After the reunion in Sept we are planning a trip to Hawaii, Island of Kauai.  I tried to call NAS North Island several times, but just got recordings.  I would like to speak to a live person to discuss procedures and the times for flights to Hawaii.  Has anyone traveled SA, is it worth it?  Can anyone give me direction?

Jim,
I'm retired too, but have not flown Space A yet (don't like to fly anymore!), but I have a Whidbey SAR buddy retired on Kauai, and says there are no Space A flights to Kauai, would have to go Space A to Hawaii, then catch a flight to "Lihue" airport on Kauai.

Just a head's up...

It has the scheds for all the origins and destinations.  If you plan to fly from NI and live close by, go to the terminal and speak to the ops folks who man the SA terminal to see if NI has any local rules that other stations may not have.  Today's (3/6) listing has a flight to Hickam.

Thank you gentlemen for your help.  At this time I have all the info I need.  All things considered, we will need to fly commercial.

great pix, although the "kid" at the bar should be shirtless, wet,  with a cleaning kit in place of the beer, and in the background the Dufflebag shower :-)  Now there is a memory!
