Dear Richard, is there an email address to request it? I am currently in Germany, and live in FL anyway, so going to BWI to pick it up is out of the question. JC

James,
Get a copy of the BWI monthly PatEx schedule, which comes out on the 15th (and which must be obtained at BWI). It lists arrivals, which allows you to forecast RMS-BWI flights.

James, that's probably about right - about 2 per week and days could vary slightly. If you keep tracking it for the next week and you should be able to verify the pattern. You can give Ramstein a call to verify and they can confirm the frequency for you as well.

Dear John, April is screwed up because of the volcano. Looking at May and March, the only discernable pattern I see is several flights to BWI, usually on Wed, Thurs, or Fri. to the best of my knowledge the Patriot Express would fly the same day each week, which is not discernable by analyzing the flight schedule.

James,

Check the Flight Schedule Forum under "Ramstein" and you'll see the weekly frequency. Chances of getting a seat depend on number of Space-A seats available and the number of other folks competing for seats (and their signup dates compared to yours). Last week of May could be near the start of the competition for the Summer season.

Apparently there is a Patriot Express that regularly goes from Ramstein to BWI, but I didn't see any schedule for it anywhere I looked. Does anyone know how often it runs, and whether the chances of getting on it are good? I am traveling last week of May, and have a good sign up date. My final destination is Orlando, FL. JC
