You work in aviation. That means schedules nobody else understands, bases you move between, layovers in unfamiliar cities, and a lifestyle that is genuinely unlike any other job. CrewVIP was built around that lifestyle. Whether you are a pilot, cabin crew, ground staff, dispatcher, ramp agent, gate agent, cargo crew, engineer, or anyone else who works in aviation - this is your platform. Join 50,000+ aviation professionals from every airline and every role who use CrewVIP to save money, plan smarter and connect with colleagues worldwide. SAVE AT HOME AND ON EVERY TRIP 1,000,000+ exclusive airline staff discounts in 60+ countries. Restaurants, hotels, spas, gyms, retail, shopping, transport and local experiences - all verified for crew, updated regularly, and available the moment you land or the moment you clock off at base. No voucher codes, no complicated signups. You show your crew membership, the discount is yours. Whether you're based in London and laying over in Dubai, flying long-haul out of LAX into Singapore, or doing a quick turnaround in Frankfurt, or finishing a shift at your home airport - the deals are there when you are. AVIA, YOUR AI SMART PLANNER Tell Avia where you are and how long you have. She handles the rest. The restaurant near your crew hotel that's still serving at 2am. The spa that opens early for morning arrivals. The rooftop bar your colleagues have been talking about for months. The gym that gives crew a free day pass. Avia finds them, ranks them by distance and crew relevance, and gives you a plan that actually fits your schedule. A six-hour layover, a two-day trip or a day off at base. One preference (food, relaxation, fitness, exploring) or a mix. The AI Planner builds around your real schedule, not a generic tourist guide. MEET CREW WHEREVER YOU ARE Crew Connect shows you other aviation professionals nearby. See who's on layover in the same city, view profiles, send messages, share local tips, or arrange a meet-up. For people who spend their working lives moving between time zones - rarely with the same base, rarely with the same colleagues twice - having a network that travels with you changes what the job feels like. Crew Connect is that network. BUILT FOR EVERY ROLE IN AVIATION Pilots and captains. First officers. Cabin crew and flight attendants. Ground staff - ramp agents, gate agents, check-in staff, baggage handlers. Flight dispatchers and crew control. Airline operations and admin teams. Aircraft engineers and maintenance crew. Air traffic controllers. Private jet and charter crew. Corporate aviation. Cargo crew. Retired airline employees and their families. If you work in aviation in any capacity, CrewVIP was built around your world - not adapted for it. Start your membership today.

Doolin is where your relationship's story lives — private, permanent, and yours. Unlike gamified relationship apps built for engagement, Doolin is built for intimacy. Each partner owns their own content — full stop. Tiered authentication keeps your content safe, and Blindfold adds another layer of security for your most private moments. And your data isn't the product: it's architecture, with easy export anytime, a promise few relationship apps make. Change your mind? Pause your partners access to your content instead of deleting it outright. A pause holds for 60 days — or until you cancel it — so nothing's ever lost in the heat of the moment. Your content. Your control. Capture your story together: Photos — the ones that matter most Voice Threads — moments captured in your voices Notes — a simple note can mean the world Pulse — a quiet way to let them know they're on your mind Whisper — a private note, sealed until a specific day & time Dates — save all those firsts and all the favorites One touch filters your Thread by event type (ie see all your Dates or Whispers in their own timeline). Two lives. One thread. I'm not a big app company churning out products. I'm a husband to someone I'm deeply in love with, a father to children I'd do anything for, and a hospitality professional who always dreamed of building something to capture a relationship's most special moments. We want Doolin to be the app for your relationship, forever — and we're just getting started. Your feedback shapes where we go next; we're here to serve and keep improving.
