How does the U.S. Military (a PS) search for commercial flights?

Question

I'm a dependent of my husband and he is stationed in Japan now. He flew from Jacksonville International airport to New Jersey, then on to Narita airport in Japan with a Continental airlines ticket. I know they are getting me a commercial ticket too but I don't know how they look up the flights that are available?. Now I can join him but they say the first available flight is Friday, four days from now, and they haven't said what airline it's with. I know the flight may not be with Continental but the flights I look up for this week through Continental have more seats available for Wednesday and Thursday. Anyway, I'll find out more about the ticket tomorrow but I'm worried cause I'm really pregnant and I know for a fact that most airlines will not let me fly now. I know Continental will let me fly as long as I've seen an OB in the past week and I'm not going into labor before I get on the plane. But other airlines are more strict, for example...American Airlines won't let me fly now unless I have a doctor with me. I've tried calling the base to ask a guy there I've talked to before but no one is answering. He is a PS, I can't remember what that stands for but a PS is the one that will get the tickets for us.

Answer 1

Do you have a letter from a doctor allowing you to fly past a certain number of weeks?  

Usually it can depend on the airline, we flew OCONUS it was United and so did all of our friends fly here this way, so this could be the airlines you are flying with.  He should have received your schedule already if you are flying out this week.  Then you can call and get your seat assignments all the way through.
