My Sister and I had the honor of being with the men and families of the USS SALT LAKE CITY. Our Grandfather had been the Captain during WW II including the Battle of The Komindorski Islands. It was so awe inspiring to meet men who had served with him..and truly a complete joy to meet their families lol their grandkids kept us all feeling young.
Hi Rogelio, for our groups that are staying for longer than one day, they use various hotels. There isn’t one hotel in particular, it depends flight-to-flight.
Why no flights from San Diego? Will there be additional flights added to the aforementioned 2023 flights?
Hi Rogelio, each hub is its own, independent entity with its own volunteers, leadership, fundraising, and crew. They make their own decisions about flights, capacities, schedules, etc. Flights are still adding ad hoc throughout the season.
I live in Grove City Ohio. I was wondering when the next Honor Flight will be.
Hi William, you can contact your local hub!

I am part of a group that wants to volunteer to greet in April. Do we need to sign up somewhere for the particular day that we want? Also, what does it mean when it says that a GAP will be provided in conjunction with the first flight of the day?
TIA
Hi there, no need to sign up, just show up at the airport! Everyone is welcome to greet outside of security at the terminal entrance. A GAP is a gate access pass – you can also sign up for a GAP for most flights (case-by-case basis) to greet inside of security. Find out more here: https://honorflightdca.com/volunteering/greeting/
