YOUR PAY - See what you are set to earn from your real roster, with a full payslip-style breakdown. - Set your salary once, and every line also shows a smarter pay estimate.

LUCIA helps airline crew enjoy crew life — swap flights, days off, and available duty days better and faster. Built for pilots and cabin crew, LUCIA is your personal crew-life app. Enter your roster on a simple calendar — flights, days off, vacation, and available duty — with destinations and trip details at a glance. Set what you want: preferred destinations, days off, or swaps with colleagues you trust. LUCIA matches you with compatible crew and sends swap requests you can review and respond to with ease. Go further with Study revision quizzes, Network communities for crew posts and discussions, Bring to request items from travelers on upcoming trips, and Marketplace listings to buy and sell crew gear locally. Connect with friends, see shared schedule info, and coordinate together instead of chasing people in group chats. Whether you want more time at home, more rest, longer trips, or your favorite destinations, LUCIA puts your schedule in one place and helps you act on it. LUCIA is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of any airline. It does not replace your airline’s official roster systems or swap policies. You remain responsible for employer rules and any official approval of schedule changes. Some features require LUCIA Pro. A free trial may be available; subscription renews automatically unless cancelled in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
