What do the the terms “T”, “F” and “SP” mean regarding seats in the flight schedules?
SP (Seats Pending): Means that they “may” be able to get some seats on the flight. T (Tentative): Means that the number of seats showing is tentative and the number could change (up or down). F (Firm): Means they are pretty sure that they have that number of seats assigned for Space-A use. Again, things can change!! Some flights from OCONUS locations to CONUS are advertised as “No First Time Entry.” What does this mean? If you are a US citizen with a US passport or a non-US citizen that is already living in the USA an an alien card then this does not apply to you. If you are immigrating to the USA for the first time then it does apply to you. A classic example of this would be non-US citizens that have married a military member stationed overseas. Miscellaneous I’m selected for a flight and the PSA wants to know my “Final Destination.” What is this and what do I do? Think of the “Final Destination” as the furthest place you want to travel away from the place you are first selected for
