What Travelers Love

Cost-Effective Travel: Space-A flights from McGuire offer a highly economical way to travel, particularly for military members, retirees, and their families.

Strategic Location: McGuire is a highly active Space-A base with frequent flights to destinations across the U.S. and Europe. It is also conveniently located within a 60- to 90-minute drive of several civilian airports, including Trenton-Mercer (TTN), Philadelphia International (PHL), and Newark Liberty International (EWR), making commercial connections feasible.

Common Complaints

Space-A Volatility: A significant drawback of Space-A travel is the requirement for extreme flexibility, as flights can be delayed, leave early, or be canceled without much notice, making it unsuitable for time-sensitive schedules.
Limited On-Base Transportation: The on-base shuttle service was terminated in 2015, which can pose a challenge for getting around the base. Taxis can be expensive, though rideshare services like Uber may offer a more affordable alternative if drivers can gain base access.
No In-Terminal Car Rental: There are no rental car services directly within the passenger terminal.

Overall, McGuire Air Force Base provides a valuable and generally positive travel experience for its users, especially those leveraging Space-A benefits. While the inherent uncertainties of military travel require adaptability, the well-appointed terminal and strategic location contribute to a favorable impression for many.
