How to Take Advantage of Space Available Military Lodging

An Air Force Guide

Sophie Spyrou
Space A (Available) military lodging can save people a lot of money, while also offering base amenities, usually within easy walking distance of the lodging facility. All branches of the military (Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard) offer their own form of Space A military lodging facilities. What steps must you take to book Air Force lodging on a Space A basis?

Air Force Lodging Directory

Start by clicking on the Air Force Lodging Directory link where you will find a list of Air Force military lodging facilities from around the world. Then click on the map to find your destination and learn more about what is available.

Military Lodging Information

As soon as you reach your location, you will find information on the type of military lodging facility and if it offers VQ, VAQ, TLF, or other types of accommodation. You will find photos of the military lodging facility, as well as the local and DSN phone number, e-mail address and a list of amenities that are available. You will also receive information on the local weather at your destination, which is handy for knowing what to pack for your trip.

Transportation

Some of the Space A rooms at military lodging facilities are quite a distance from the closest national or international airport. Once you search the site of your destination, you will see information on airports and public transportation. In fact, some of the military lodging facilities offer a courtesy shuttle service from the airport to the lodging facility for guests who will be staying on a Space A basis. However, check on the transportation before you make your booking. Military personnel on official government orders are sometimes asked to pay for a shuttle service to the military lodging facility.

Space A travel can help you to make the most of your trip by offering affordable rates and a range of lodging facilities to suit your circumstances. To make a reservation, contact the military lodging facility directly, or call the Air Force Lodging Reservations at 1-888-235-6343. The toll-free phone number is only valid within CONUS (Continental United States).
