During the past few months Kelly AFB (San Antinio) has had 2 flights per month (2 weeks apart) to the East Coast & Ramstein. Call Kelly to check their current return routing. That would be you most direct way.
Otherwise head to the East Coast; then catch the 3x per week Andrews to Jackson, MS flights; then drive a one way car rental from Jackson, MS to San Antonio. This is how we get from Ramstein to Dallas (frequently) via Jackson. |

Nina,
Also, please keep in mind that if you're a Cat-V you'll be unable to avail of any of the Space-A hops within CONUS unless the mission is to/from overseas. If you are a Cat-VI or sponsor is deployed then you'll be fine. |

Bear in mind that a lot of the flights between bases within CONUS are via the small "executive jet" aircraft that have a limit of 30 lbs. per person for baggage, and can have few seats (so they are not necessarily good to aim for if you are part of a family group). |

Don't forget the Navy's flights into Fort Worth.
From an experience I had last spring:
Kelly C-5 that had mission to Iraq returned to Kelly via Rota Spain (for refueling) rather than Ramstein. From Rota it was direct to Kelly.
I caught the flight at Rota - which was "right-on" since I was in Rota and live in San Antonio.
