Space-A Scout › Routes › Ramstein AB to Dover AFB
Ramstein AB sent 76 recorded Space-A flights to Dover AFB in the year ending October 2026, about once a week and about 21 percent of everything the terminal flew. On the 76 of those where the terminal reported who made the cut, Category VI travelers, the retirees and veterans at the back of the line, got a seat 86 percent of the time.
By raw volume, May and September saw the most departures on this route in the year ending October 2026, and November the fewest. The route was active in 13 of the 13 months on record.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 86 percent of the 76 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. Not a sure thing, but far from hopeless, and picking your month improves it.
The lowest category that made each reported flight, in the year ending October 2026:
| Category I | 1 flight |
| Category III | 9 flights |
| Category IV | 1 flight |
| Category VI | 65 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 76 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 50 seats and 16 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 34 Space-A seats empty. That is a lot of room, and it is why the Category VI number above is as good as it is.
How early did the last traveler who got on sign up? On the 20 flights where the terminal published a sign-up cutoff, the median was 1 days before the flight. Read that as the floor, not the plan: sign up the moment you know your dates.
A schedule on the 72-hour board is a plan, not a promise, and on this route the record says how much of a plan. Of the 46 flights posted to Ramstein AB's board for Dover AFB in the last 120 days, 7 (15 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 31 (67 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 20 (43 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
Sign-up at Ramstein AB is free and does not commit you to anything. You can email the terminal at 721aps.ramsteinspaceasignup@us.af.mil (the email doubles as your dated proof of sign-up), use the AMC online sign-up portal and call 06371-46-4441 to confirm anything time-sensitive. Do it 45 to 60 days before you want to travel, because your place in line at roll call is your sign-up date, and a sign-up is good for 60 days.
