STBY vs myIDBuddy

STBY is the #1 deal directory for airline staff that lists exclusive deals, discounts and offers available to airline staff in cities around the world.

myIDBuddy is the app for the standby travel community — airline employees, their travel partners, and family. Flying non-rev isn't a backup plan, it's a lifestyle. myIDBuddy helps you find people heading the same way, plan trips together, and turn empty seats into shared adventures. WHO IT'S FOR Built for airline staff and the people they fly with. Employees join with their airline email. Travel partners and family are invited in by the employee they travel with — and everyone gets their own profile. EXPLORE TRIPS ON THE MAP Open the map to see trips happening around the world. Filter by activity, budget, traveler type, age, and language to find the ones that fit you. Tap a pin to see who's going. PLAN & JOIN TRIPS Post a trip with your dates, destinations, and vibe, then let others request to join. Or find an existing trip and jump on board. MATCH WITH TRAVELERS Swipe to discover travelers heading your way and match with the ones you click with. CHAT Message your matches and trip mates to sort out plans, meetups, and standby strategy. BUILD YOUR PROFILE Add photos, interests, and languages, and pin the countries you've visited and want to go — shown on your own world map. Answer prompts to show your personality. VERIFIED & TRUSTED Earn the verified badge with a quick selfie + ID check, so people know you're really you. Your ID is never stored — it's checked, then discarded. TRAVEL PARTNERS & FAMILY Employees can invite the people they travel with by email. Partners and family get their own linked profile and head straight to the good part. Standby is a lifestyle. Find your ID buddies and never fly solo again.
