I think, if I remember right, that I could have hitched a ride on a military plane. If they had room. I think my feeling was at the time, that I wanted the peace of mind of knowing that I would depart on a certain day, and return on a certain day. I didn't want to take chances with a military plane and get stuck spending several days waiting for a plane that had room in it for me, so I paid for a civilian flight.
