Space A Travel

Question:

I just read that Veterans with a 100% Disability rating can travel on Space A flights. My question is I am permanent TDIU at 80%, Will I Qualify for Space A Travel? Thank you!

Yes, you should meet eligibility criteria. But I have yet to speak with anyone who has been successful in using this benefit. Space is rarely available since active duty have priority. If you do get to a destination (sometimes after waiting days for available space) there is no guarantee of a return flight and you may end up paying to get home. Good luck if you try it!
