Welcome to the Board!
If you have not yet done so, please familiarize yourself with JohnD's SpaceA Pages (link top left), the general layout of this site and the Search Function (magnifying glass at top center) of this site. Nearly all questions can be answered from those three sources. Having read thru the FAQs is a great start and I would suggest reading thru the other sections on JohnD's site as well.
In relation to your proposed trip, traveling SpaceA to/from Kadena (or anywhere in Japan) to Travis (or anywhere in the CONUS) in the summer will be very challenging. We try to avoid the Summer (15 May to 15 Sep) as this is typically one of the busiest times (Christmas (15 Dec-10 Jan) being the other) with a lot of competition for spacea. Please ensure that you are prepared to spend more time in terminals than you can imagine. Also be prepared for additional food, lodging and expensive, last minute commercial tickets should you be time restrained upon your attempted return.
As stated often on this site, experienced SPATS avoid Christmas and Summer travel whenever possible.
In sum, can it be done??..Yes, Just be mentally prepared for things to not go as smoothly as you might be expecting...and be pleasantly surprised when they work out.
Happy travels, John |

Gary,
First tip is please become familiar with the Space-A and travel info available at www.spacea.net
Second, be patient as Summer is usually a very bad time to travel as a Cat-VI. You may have to be inventive and flexible to keep moving. |

My wife and I are attempting our first SpaceA flight from Travis to Kadena in June and return in August. Any tips on routes to attempt, or anything that will help us?
