Air Force · California · eighth live destination

Travis AFB. Fairfield.

Official pages first. This is a destination note for a PCS to Travis, not the welcome center, and not a ranked cheap-eats list for a young airman. Official rates are on this page with as-of dates. We do not compute a member’s claim. Per diem is surprising. We cite it. We do not invent Bay Area “cheap eats.”

Not a .mil site. No DoD seals. No official logos. Linked .mil and city pages belong to those agencies. HeyBryx is a private Amazon Associates publication.

Official rates Monthly

Current as of 27 Aug 2026. Direct official government sources only. Not a .mil site. Finance and TMO own the voucher. We do not compute a member’s claim. BAH has individual rate protection. First and last travel day M&IE is 75% per JTR/FTR.

Per diem — surprising. Cite it. Standard Rate, not a Bay Area NSA.

FY2026. Effective 1 Oct 2025–30 Sep 2026. GSA master file title: FY2026 Per Diem Rates - Effective October 1, 2025. Travis AFB is in Solano County. There is no Fairfield / Vallejo / Solano NSA in that master file. Nearby NSAs exist. They are not Travis unless TLE is actually in that locality. TMO / finance owns which locality the voucher uses. Monthly.

Do not flatten nearby Bay Area / Sacramento NSAs onto ZIP 94535. The GSA ZIP file puts Travis-area ZIPs on DestinationID 0 Standard Rate. That is lodging $110 / M&IE $68 every month. It is not Sacramento, not Napa, and not West Sacramento / Davis. We publish the ZIP file as it stands. We do not pick a “Bay Area” winner.

Table A — ZIP 94535 Standard Rate (GSA ZIP file)

GSA FY2026 ZIP file: ZIP 94535 (typical Travis AFB ZIP) is DestinationID 0 Standard Rate. Lodging $110 every month / M&IE $68. ZIPs 94533, 94534, and 94585 are the same Standard Rate row. That is not a Fairfield NSA. There isn’t one.

ZIPs 94535 / 94533 / 94534 / 94585 DestinationID 0 Standard Rate. FY2026 GSA ZIP file. Current as of 27 Aug 2026. Monthly.
DatesLodgingM&IE
Every month (Oct–Sep)$110$68

Nearby NSAs in the GSA master — do not apply to Travis unless TLE is there

These rows exist in the GSA FY2026 master. They are not the 94535 Standard Rate line. We will not pretend Travis “is” Sacramento because I-80 goes there.

TLE uses a locality per diem. We are not computing days authorized. We are not declaring that finance will use Standard Rate if the member lodges in Sacramento or Napa. On-base Westwind Inn nightly amounts are a different table — MOS printed them; see Arrival / lodging. They are not the GSA TLE ceiling.

Secondary DLA is not published here. In this same PDF the secondary section heading still reads Effective January 1, 2025. That heading looks stale. Partial DLA is a separate file, not in this PDF — we are not inventing a partial amount. Use the DTMO DLA page for those files.

Arrival, sponsor, lodging Monthly

Hours, phones, and lodging options move. Read the live pages. Where official pages disagree, we cite both. We do not flatten the conflict into a fake “current” number of our own.

Westwind Inn TLF — MOS printed nightly amounts, separate from GSA

MilitaryINSTALLATIONS temporary housing (retrieved 27 Aug 2026): Westwind Inn, 570 Travis Avenue, Building 402, Travis AFB, CA 94535. COMM 707-424-8000. DSN 312-837-8000. Open 24/7 including holidays. Website on that MOS block: travisfss.com. Reservations also through the Department of Defense Lodging site. First-come, first-served regardless of rank. Personnel or their sponsors may make reservations. A copy of PCS orders to Travis must be provided to the Lodging Office before or at check-in.

MOS printed inventory (temporary housing page, retrieved 27 Aug 2026): 82 TLF (53 standard / 29 pet), 340 visiting quarters, 24 business suites. TLF: fully furnished two-bedroom units for a family of up to five (six if one child sleeps in a crib). VQ: one queen, TV, private bath, micro-fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Business suites: two bedrooms, two baths, full kitchen, living room, in-room laundry, office area.

MOS check-in inventory is not the same count: that page (retrieved 27 Aug 2026) says 440 guest rooms: 340 VQ, 18 business suites, 82 TLF (53 standard / 29 pet). 24 vs 18 business suites. Cited, not flattened. We did not invent a third number.

MOS printed nightly amounts (temporary housing page, retrieved 27 Aug 2026). Quote as MOS printed. Monthly. Separate from the GSA TLE ceiling ($110 Standard Rate lodging for ZIP 94535). We are not computing whether a night is reimbursed:

Westwind Inn nightly amounts as printed on MOS temporary housing, retrieved 27 Aug 2026. Monthly. Not the GSA TLE ceiling.
TypeMOS printed
Visiting Quarters$99 / night
Business suites$107 / night
Two-bedroom TLF$107 / night
Pet-friendly TLF$107 / night + $10 pet fee

MOS: present shot records for pets at check-in. MOS check-in reservations: 707-424-8000 ext. 0, email 60FSS.Westwind.Inn@us.af.mil, or register online. 60 FSS Westwind Inn (live page, checked 27 Aug 2026): Open 24/7, 570 Travis Avenue (Bldg 402). Questions email on that FSS page: westwindlodging@us.af.mil. Those two emails are not the same string. Cited, not flattened. AF lodging: af.dodlodging.net.

We will not invent a Fairfield / Vacaville hotel list. We did not use MyBaseGuide. We did not use realtor blogs.

M&FRC

60 FSS M&FRC (checked 27 Aug 2026): 351 Travis Ave. (Bldg 660). Hours on that FSS page: Monday–Wednesday & Friday 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM; Thursday 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM; Sunday closed. Modified hours may apply on federal holidays, AMC Pass Days, and Tentative Goal Days. Phone on that FSS page and MOS check-in: 707-424-2486. Class calendar / Newcomers registration: travismfrc.com. Hours are Monthly.

Climate Seasonal / annual

Travis / Fairfield is NWS WFO STO (Sacramento), not Monterey (MTR). NWS forecast products for Travis AFB / Fairfield are issued by National Weather Service Sacramento. We are not inventing a climate table. MOS in-depth overview does not publish a climate paragraph; it locates the base in Solano County near Fairfield, Suisun City, and Vacaville and calls it a high cost of living area. For what it is doing today, use NWS Sacramento, not a travel blog:

Vehicle-specific gear is Auto Hobby / a local shop / the vehicle manual — not a random ASIN we invent. MOS overview also has California smog-check / AF self-certification notes for vehicles parked on Travis; that is MOS, not a shopping list. 60 FSS Outdoor Recreation is on the live FSS site; hours move.

Hunting, fishing, boating Seasonal / annual

Seasons change. We will not paste a table that will rot. California Department of Fish and Wildlife is the official source:

Licenses, zones, and “can I hunt this weekend” are on those pages, not here. CDFW Bay Delta Region has a Fairfield office; that is a license desk, not a season table we paste.

Kid-friendly (parks, library) Seasonal / annual

We are not ranking playgrounds or inventing a “best for toddlers” list.

Utilities Monthly

Official City of Fairfield (and Vacaville, if that is actually the city on the lease) pages only. We will not guess which electric or gas company a given street uses. We will not invent a street-by-street map. We did not use InMyArea (MOS housing links it; we will not). We did not use utilitiesformyhome.com. We did not use realtor blogs.

On-base family housing is privatized (Balfour Beatty / Travis Family Homes). MOS: privatized housing requires full BAH for rent and utilities. Utility setup for a Travis Family Homes address is the housing office’s job, not a paragraph we invent. MOS housing also prints community rent averages; those dollars rot. We are not reprinting them as today’s market. MOS says Solano is high-cost and to budget with M&FRC — that warning stands; the average is on their page.

Fuel Monthly

We do not publish a price. Check today:

Restaurants and a young airman’s grocery bill Monthly

We will not rank restaurants without a monthly check we are not running. No “top 10 cheap eats.” No Bay Area cheap-eats list. Menu prices rot. A young airman’s budget is real; the honest line is the commissary plus an official city directory, not a fake Yelp five.

Traffic, distance, wildlife Seasonal / annual Monthly

We are not inventing a commute time or a mile-count. Heat, wind, smoke, and I-80 traffic change the drive. For weather: NWS Sacramento (STO). For animals and seasons: CDFW. For city streets: City of Fairfield. MOS in-depth overview has driving directions; we are not copying those miles as a commute calculator.

BAH, per diem, mileage, and DLA: see Official rates.

Meet people Monthly

Official, then stop. We are not inventing a singles meetup or linking a closed Facebook group.

USO: USO California’s official locations list (retrieved 27 Aug 2026) does not include a Travis AFB center. We will not invent one from a listing site. USO national: uso.org · USO California.

Chapel: we did not get a live travis.af.mil chapel page from this datacenter (403 on Newcomers). Still look on travis.af.mil / MOS. Do not invent a service time.

Public news (no CAC): Travis AFB public affairs / news (403 from this datacenter; still the official news index) · DVIDS — 60th Air Mobility Wing · City of Fairfield.

Material kit add-on for this climate

The national empty-house cart is still kit.html (sleep, cook, shower, light). For Travis, NWS STO is the live weather office. Inland Solano summers are the climate note, not a Bay Area fog list we invent. Class-based Amazon only, tag heybryx-20, same 4.0★ + in-stock rule as the kit. We did not pick a Travis-specific ASIN on 27 Aug 2026 — window fans are house-specific; bundled “California kits” go out of stock. No button. Buy the pieces you actually need.

box fan / window fan

Class, not a random California kit

An empty house in August in Solano County can be miserable before household goods and before you trust the A/C. NWS STO is the live weather office. A simple box fan is the honest extra. We will not pick a random ASIN. Housing / the lease / the unit own what you may install in a window. 60 FSS Outdoor Recreation is for trips and rentals, not your bedroom temperature.

Example of the class, not a ranked test. We are an Amazon Associate. Disclosure.

windshield sunshade

Class: windshield sunshade

The car cooks on the ramp and in a Fairfield lot. A folding windshield shade is vehicle-window specific. Bundled “car emergency kits” often omit it or go out of stock. No button. Buy the piece that fits the glass. Do not wait for a pretty bag.

Example of the class, not a ranked test. Coolant, tires, and A/C service: vehicle-specific — described, not linked. California smog check: MOS overview, not an ASIN.

Coolant and A/C service: vehicle-specific. We cannot pick a sane universal ASIN. Describe the class. Do not click a random jug.
