To help reduce your anxiety, do read (and re-read,more than once-- there's too much there to take in at one go-through!) John D's FAQ's (link above at the left). Also on John D's site you can call up a broad variety of information on all the bases you may be using. Then you can also read some of the Trip Reports in order to get ideas about what people sometimes face and how they handle variations that become necessary. Then after your trip is over, please do post a Trip Report (both the good and the bad, if appropriate) for the benefit of all who may want to follow in your shoes. Flying space-a is a constant learning experience but can be a wonderful adventure when approached with the right attitudes!   Larry W.

Drinks are usually not permitted past the metal detectors at the Gate but once through you can buy sodas from the vending machines while waiting to board. You're usually given the option of buying a box lunch after being selected for the flight. It's a good four buck or so investment. Can't comment on the frequency of HIK-Kadena flights. Go to the Flight Schedules forum and look at the old HIK scheds for yourself to see how many there were to Kadena.   April Valentine New member Username: Valent1975 Post Number: 1 Registered: 05-2010 Posted From: 24.161.131.188 Posted on Sunday, June 20, 2010 - 04:19 am:    Im wanting to head out to kadena from Hickam July 28th.
