Help Our People Save (HOPS)

Air Force members can enjoy "space-a" or space available travel. These flights are also called "hops" and allow the service member and dependents to travel anywhere a military flight is going on a space available basis for free or for a very small fee (such as $15).

Temporary Duty

A "TDY" is a temporary assignment, usually intended to attend a school, conference, temporarily help an undermanned unit, or participate in an exercise. TDY at any one location is limited to no more than 180 days.

When on TDY, the Air Force pays for costs incurred at a per diem rate.

When the mission of the TDY is complete, the Airman returns to his/her permanent duty assignment.

Permanent Duty Station

After military and technical training for enlisted Airmen, you'll be assigned to the base location that can best utilize your skills. Active duty Airmen who make a Permanent Change of Station "PCS" are entitled to receive permanent change of station services and allowances to help manage the move. PCS opportunities will depend on AFSC and position availability. 

With position availability in mind, your preferred locations are considered. Whenever possible, we try to match an Air Force need with your assignment preferences. In addition, your pay is adjusted to include the cost of living allowance based on your new location.

Information, Tickets & Travel

All Airmen receive 30 days of paid vacation per year, during which they are free to travel and take time to explore local and foreign destinations. Airmen can take advantage of available space on Air Force aircraft to travel to many international destinations as well as almost any state in the U.S. For destinations near another military facility, they can enjoy hotel-quality lodging on base for a reduced cost. It all amounts to a lifetime of adventure and travel for you and your family to enjoy throughout your United States Air Force career.

 

Low Cost Vacation Packages

You will be eligible to stay in base lodging around the world. This includes lodging at any military facility that has rooms available for military personnel and their families, at a cost much lower than a hotel off base.
 

Low Cost Travel

Bases offer travel planning to help Airmen make the most of their 30 days of paid vacation per year. Enjoy complimentary flights that make it easy and affordable to meet family or friends at any home or vacation destination.
 

Discount Event Tickets

Typically, you can expect an eight-hour workday, leaving plenty of time to relax, recharge and do other things you enjoy once you change out of uniform. Hundreds of companies offer military discounts to service members, retired military, veterans, spouses and their families.

Air Force ITT (Information, Tickets & Travel) is a team of more than 75 offices, staffed by nearly 300 travel agents who are eager to help with your travel or recreation plans. ITT operations vary from base to base, but most bases have a discount ticket sales office. In fact, many offices offer full travel services.
