    1. Which service are you? Some don’t do Advance travel because you are required to use your GTC. You may be able to get advance DLA. That’s 100% up front. If you are eligible for an advance of other travel funds (mileage, per Diem, TLE, etc), that’s 80% up front. 

      If you’re doing a PPM, that’s 60% for the advance. You’ll have to use DPS or talk to your Transportation Office for a dollar amount. There are too many variables for a good estimate.
