CrewPad
Read full descriptionHide full description
CrewPad is the first housing platform built exclusively for airline pilots and flight attendants. Finding a reliable crash pad near your base shouldn't mean scrolling through generic rental sites, wondering if the listing is actually crew-friendly, or showing up to find out your "private room" is a rotating hot bed shared by twelve people. CrewPad was built by crew, for crew — to take the guesswork out of finding a place to rest between trips. FIND YOUR PAD Search crash pads, shared rooms, and private listings by airport code, distance to terminal, bed type, and price. Whether you need a dedicated cold bed to call your own or a flexible hot bed for a few nights a month, CrewPad's filters get you to the right listing fast. CREW-VERIFIED HOSTS Every host can verify their crew status through airline email and crew ID verification. When you see the Verified Crew badge, you know you're booking with a fellow aviation professional who understands the lifestyle — the odd hours, the need for blackout curtains, the importance of quiet during daytime sleep. TRANSPARENT PRICING & BOOKING See exactly what you're paying — nightly, weekly, and monthly rates with no hidden fees. Book instantly when a host has instant booking enabled, or request a reservation and message the host directly through the in-app chat. Every booking is backed by a clear cancellation policy (flexible, moderate, or strict) that you review and accept before you pay. BUILT FOR THE CREW SCHEDULE Search by airport code or city — find pads at your base in seconds Hot bed vs. cold bed filtering — know exactly what you're booking Gender preference options — find a living situation that works for you Airline affiliation tags — discover pads that cater to your carrier Last-minute availability section — for those sudden schedule changes Waitlist your preferred dates — get notified when a pad opens up Favorites — save listings for your next trip Check-in reminders and post-stay feedback — all automated EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Your trips, host dashboard, messages, and listings are all in one tab-based app. Hosts get a full dashboard with occupancy trends, revenue tracking, booking management, and a verification queue. Guests get a clean, fast browse experience with real-time availability. LOCAL GUIDES INCLUDED Each listing includes a host-curated local guide — nearby gyms, grocery stores, shuttle options, pharmacies, and transit — so you know what's around before you book. SECURE PAYMENTS All payments are processed through Stripe with platform-protected payouts to hosts 24 hours after check-in. Your payment information is never shared. Disputes are handled with a structured evidence process to protect both guests and hosts. CrewPad is more than a marketplace — it's a community of aviation professionals helping each other find quality rest near the airports they fly from. Stop settling for generic rentals. Start sleeping like crew.
