Crashpads & reviews

Something missing or out of date? Report missing or wrong info

Crashpads are tagged by crew type (pilots only, flight attendants only, or pilots and flight attendants) and men/women (men only, women only, or coed; a crashpad where the host doesn't say is labeled "Men/women: Not listed by the host" and shows under every option). They also carry shift-worker and long-stay attributes: day-sleeper friendly, stay length (nightly, weekly, monthly, or 30+ nights), private room, truck/RV parking, and time to the terminal. Anything marked "Not specified" shows under every filter until a review tags it.

Found publicly · not host-submitted cards are built from public info (each crashpad's own website or public page) and the host has not submitted or confirmed them, while Host-submitted cards were submitted by the host and reviewed by CommuteBase. Check details with the host before booking. Is one of these yours? Get verified to claim or update it or ask us to remove it.
