Before traveling from Westover, it is important to know that there are differences between flying from Westover and flying from one of the Air Force's larger terminals. Westover's terminal is not open 24/7, has limited amenities and it can be a challenge to arrange transportation from the terminal to the main gate, which ~1-mile away.

Nevertheless, the personnel of the 439th Logistics Readiness Squadron Air Transportation Flight are dedicated to administering Space-A passengers when they are not occupied in their primary mission.

How to fly Space-A from WESTOVER

5. Formulate your plan for transportation to and from the Westover terminal.

Regular Flights at WESTOVER

While flight schedules are mission-dependent and can be altered on short notice for a variety of reasons, Westover Air Reserve Base does have flights scheduled to several destinations on a regular basis.

Many of the flights are aboard C-5 Galaxy, which often need to fly to other locations to pick up their cargo for a particular mission. With a nearly empty aircraft leaving Westover, it means there could be a large number of Space-A seats available for the first leg of the mission.

When the cargo pick-up location is at a major Air Force hub like Dover and McGuire, passengers will have access to a larger Space-A passenger terminal with more frequent flights to a larger number of destinations.
