AMC Form 140 – Space-Available Travel Request

What Is the AMC Form 140?

The AMC Form 140, widely known as the Space-Available Travel Request, enables authorized travelers to access the DoD's Space-A program. This section covers eligibility, travel categories, and required documents for completing your registration PDF.

Who Can Apply for Space-A Travel?

Space-Available (Space-A) travel is open to the following groups when seats are available on DoD aircraft:

• Active duty service members on authorized pass or furlough
• Dependents of active duty personnel, traveling with or without the sponsor
• Retired service members and their eligible dependents
• Selected Reserve Component members on specific orders
• Certain DoD civilian employees under authorized circumstances

Dependents traveling without their sponsor must carry proper identification documents and may need additional authorization at the terminal. Review the dependent authorization form requirements before arrival.

Travel Category Priority System

The AMC Form 140 requires travelers to identify their travel category. Priority boarding is assigned in category order, from highest to lowest:

• Category I – Emergency furlough
• Category II – Environmental and Morale Leave (EML)
• Category III – Ordinary authorized pass (active duty)
• Category IV – Unaccompanied dependents traveling on EML
• Category V – Permissive TDY and funded EML
• Category VI – Retired service members and dependents

Selecting the correct category is critical. An incorrect category may result in lower boarding priority or disqualification at the terminal. The form registration is valid for 60 days or until your authorized period ends, whichever is sooner.

Required Documents and Border Clearance

Gather the following documents and forms before visiting the AMC Passenger Terminal:

• Completed Space-Available Travel Request PDF (AMC Form 140)
• Valid DoD-issued ID card or dependent ID
• Authorized pass or furlough documentation
• Valid passport for international travel
• Visas or entry permits required by the destination country

International travel requires full border clearance documentation. Confirm specific requirements with the nearest AMC Passenger Terminal and review US Customs and Border Protection forms for returning travelers.
