I am trying to figure out some plans to get to Ramstein using civilian air, just in case military air isn't available. Has anyone done this?
I don't know if there is public transportation from Frankfurt or if the base has a shuttle to any main airports.
thanks in advance!!

Ok, if your DH is deployed - you will be able to use Space A without him. You will be a Cat IV or III, depending on how long your DH is deployed. Those two Cats get you above most of the other Space A travelers.
There are no assigned seats on the Rotator unless you are on orders, so the guys at TMO are not going to be able to do anything special for you.
To Space A, you will need a signed letter from your DH's Commander (I will give you a copy of the one I use when I Space A), and a fax or e-mail cover letter (again, I will give you the template).
You will need to fax/email a copy of the Command Letter to both BWI and Ramstein (return flight) about 60-45 days out. The Command Letter will only give you 90 days open to fly. Once you are on the Space A list, you have 60+ days to fly.
Priority for getting a seat goes Categories first (ie Cat III is higher than Cat IV), then by who got on the list first (not rank).
But as I said, if you call Ramsteins Terminal at 011-49-6371-46-4440
You can get the phone number of the shuttle between Ram and Frankfurt.
