Blackout, quiet daytime hours, no daytime cleaning or turnover, a good mattress, AC, and low hot-bed traffic during the day.
Reviews now score daytime sleep on its own, separate from overall sleep, so a crashpad that is great at night but loud at noon shows it.
Every base page has a day-sleeper filter. Crashpads stay "Not specified" until a crew review confirms it.
No more guessing from a sketchy listing.
Anyone can browse every crashpad. Get verified only to leave a review, claim your crashpad, or list a new one. A person checks every request. We ask only for your name, email, airline, role and base, never ID photos or ID numbers.
Real listings may show the crashpad's address as provided by the host, so crew can look it up on a map.
Ratings for cleanliness, sleep, daytime sleep, host, and airport access, with real prices paid in the last 12 months. Every crashpad is tagged by crew type (pilots only, flight attendants only, or pilots and flight attendants) and housing (men only, women only, or co-ed), plus stay length, private room, truck/RV parking, and day-sleeper friendly.
Transit, employee parking, and commute notes, each linked to a source, with unknowns clearly marked.

A crashpad (also spelled crash pad) is shared housing near an airport for airline crew who commute to their base. Crew rent a bed for the nights they need to be in base before or between trips, usually by the month; some crashpads also offer nightly stays. A hot bed is shared on a rotating basis; a cold bed is yours alone.
Some crashpads take only pilots, some take only flight attendants, and many take both. Housing can also be men only, women only, or co-ed. Each crashpad on CommuteBase is tagged by crew type and housing where that is known, and every base page lets you filter by them.
Of the 52 crashpads on CommuteBase that publish a monthly starting price (as listed on our cards on Nov 9, 2026), starting prices run from $240 to $950 a month, with a median of about $362. 41 of the 52 start between $300 and $450 a month. These are each crashpad's lowest advertised rate; private rooms usually cost more than a shared room or bunk. Check the current price with the host.
