FlySpaceA puts Space Available flight data from Air Mobility Command in your pocket. No more refreshing terminal Facebook pages for 72-hour schedules. Open the app, check what's flying, and go. FLIGHT MAP: All tracked flights show up on an interactive map with clustered markers and route arcs. Tap any airport marker to see its departures. You can zoom, scroll, and quickly see what's moving across the Air Mobility Command network. FLIGHT LIST AND FILTERS: Switch to the list view for a detailed look. Filter by flight status (Firm, Tentative, Cancelled), specific airports, or date range. Handy when you're watching a particular route or waiting on a specific terminal. TERMINAL BROWSER: Look up Air Mobility Command terminal details so you know where to sign up and what to expect before you get there. ELIGIBILITY CALCULATOR: Not sure which Space Available category you fall under? The built-in calculator asks a few questions and tells you your Air Mobility Command travel category. It covers all six: Cat I: Emergency Leave (Unfunded) Cat II: Environmental and Morale Leave (Accompanied) Cat III: Ordinary Leave, House Hunting, Medal of Honor Cat IV: Unaccompanied EML Cat V: Other Permissive TDY, Unaccompanied Dependents, Post-Deployment/Mobilization Respite Absence Cat VI: Retirees, Gray Area Retirees, Guard/Reserve (Inactive), 100% Disabled Veterans, ROTC REQUEST EMAILS: Pick a flight and open a draft email to the terminal in one tap, ready for you to review and send from your own email app. WHO THIS IS FOR: Active duty, Guard, Reserve, retirees, dependents, 100% disabled veterans, and anyone else eligible for Space Available travel. If you've spent time hunting for flight schedules across scattered websites and social media pages, this app pulls it all into one place. Sign in with Apple or Google, or create an account with email. Flights require a free account; the terminal directory and eligibility calculator work without one. Check flights, figure out your category, and plan your trip. DATA EXPLORER (SUBSCRIPTION): The free Highlights show how Space Available flights move across the network. A FlySpaceA Pro subscription unlocks the full Data Explorer: filter, group and chart every route, terminal and month, and see seats actually released at roll call. Choose monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the price shown for each month or year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
