Ha ha..LOL..I was going through the profile page so far I didn't notice my entry as I wasn't wearing my reading glasses. It's always that what follows "hair color" is "color of eyes" and I placed brown!! |

Remigio,
Just in case you hadn't noticed it, you may want to change the "Space-A Category" in your profile. I don't think "brown" is a category;...yet!
Happy travels! |

remigio:
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 Japan to Travis (or anywhere on the West Coast) in the summer as a Cat VI 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 |

Please read the post about Cat VI travel in Space A Trip Report for the answer to your question. It is not good, but true. |

I have not tried flying out of Yokota during the summer and the latest I've flown out of it is in May and it was alright. How are spaces for retired people during June - August? If everyone's experience is hell, then I am postponing my trip. |
