'Space A' (for Space Available) travel extends to all military members on active duty or retired, regardless of service. Reservists and National Guard may also use Space A if they are traveling on active duty orders. If there is space available on the aircraft, one can hitch a ride on it. Only applies to transport aircraft; combat aircaft don't count. However, the exigiencies of the military mission may dictate that the Space A passengers may be dropped off short of their destination.
(Case in point: as a young Civil Air Patrol cadet (the Air Force extends Space A privileges in support of CAP/JROTC activities), we took Space A travel to the several national special activities. My group hopped on a T-43A (a Boeing 737 navigation trainer) from Homestead AFB in Florida to Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, Texas via Columbus AFB, Mississippi. On the way back, because of a change in mission plans, our return flight dropped us off at Palm Beach International Airport instead of Homestead. Waited almost two hours in an executive terminal until our parents drove up the nearly two hours from Miami.)
