Patriot Express — Direct OCONUS Commercial Charter for PCS
The Patriot Express is a DoD-contracted commercial charter that flies service members + families on PCS to OCONUS duty stations (Japan, Korea, Germany, Italy). Free for service member + accompanying authorized dependents. Departs from designated CONUS hubs (Seattle, Baltimore, etc.) — saves the family from booking + reimbursing commercial international travel.
How to access
Restrictions
Book through the gaining unit's PCS travel office — they coordinate seats on the next available Patriot Express to your destination. Pets travel for an additional fee (typically $40-$120 per crate). Strong fit for OCONUS PCS where commercial flights would otherwise be $2,000+ per ticket family-of-four. Cross-link [[travel-international]] for OCONUS-life perks beyond the travel itself.
