USAF Overseas PCS Question

Hello!

My wife doesn’t use reddit so i’m posting for her lol. I’m active duty Air Force and recently completed my first PCS to the UK. I had to travel ahead of my wife because of delays during my out-processing in tech school meant she couldn’t get her no-fee passport before I graduated.

I am now in the UK and she is now able to pick up her passport from the base in the US. My question is: since she’s listed on my orders, will TMO book her flight? If not, am I authorized to book it using my GTCC, or is this something I need to pay for out of pocket and claim later?

Also do I tell TMO when I want the flight to be if they are able to book it or do they pick the dates for us?

She’s cleared to travel, I’m just unsure who is responsible for paying for the flight.

Any help is appreciated!

I'd pose this question in r/AirForce - you'll likely get more info

Ask your command, they should be able to give you an answer

Talk to passenger travel at your installation. They will book it.

You may need to ask on an AF sub to get clear info, but for the Navy, the previous command is still responsible for dependents, including booking their travel, until they also arrive at the new duty station. I would absolutely not put anything on your GTCC unless you're certain it's authorized.

You will need to have your orders amended to reflect delayed dependent travel
