    I can’t schedule it for you, but I can help you along the way. All retirees are considered Cat VI and are at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to getting a flight, but plenty of us still get on. You just need to go at the right times to avoid the higher categories as much as possible. During holidays and when school is out is a bad time for Cat VI to travel. If you can leave in early April and come at the end of April or even mid-May, you could be alright. Once the kids get out of school for the summer you might as well forget about traveling overseas, although it could still be possible, but most likely a longer wait.
    You don’t say where you are traveling from. Usually along the east coast is the best place to start to get to Germany. If you visited the site and looked at the Ramstein page you can see where most of the flights originate that travel to Germany. Also, it lists where Ramstein usually flies to, they are not all necessarily the same. https://ujspaceainfo.com/2014/02/ramstein-ab-germany/.
    If you need to learn some basics about Space-A this is the best page that I’ve found that explains it pretty well https://www.poppinsmoke.com/space-a-flights/.
    If you need any further information, please continue to ask right here on my blog.
    Good luck and have safe travels.
