Who can travel and when?
From Saturday 7 November to Wednesday 11 November 2026, eligible current and former Armed Forces members can travel free as foot passengers on Wightlink services departing from the Isle of Wight. One accompanying foot passenger can also travel free on a day return ticket.
How to use the offer
