Airport markers: JFK, LGA, EWR. Crashpad pins show street addresses published on each crashpad's own website; crashpads without one aren't pinned. Shaded circles show the general area a crashpad names on its card (about 1.5 miles across), not its address. Sample listings are examples and are not shown on the map.

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.

The suite has a six-bed hot-bunk room with its own door, a living area and a private bathroom. The hotel's free shuttle from EWR P4, daily housekeeping and breakfast come with the stay.
From the host's website: A small group of crashpad houses for flight attendants and other airline crew, each about 5 miles from JFK, with one in Saint Albans, Queens. Rooms range from 4- and 6-bed bunk rooms to semi-private doubles, with separate women's and men's rooms and one women-only house. Hot beds are also offered by the night.
From the host's website: A women-owned and managed crashpad for pilots and flight attendants serving JFK and LGA, in a renovated four-bedroom, three-bath house on three floors in Jamaica, Queens. It lists four monthly plans, from a basic bed to a private room. Availability is limited: a tour and deposit come before any reservation, and a waitlist is open.
