Chose between Flights or Hotels.
In this article we will show you how to book flights. If you are interested in learning how to book hotels, check here.

With the Business Trip option (left screen), you can book one-way and/or return flights for anyone who is not a seafarer and does not hold respective seafarer’s documents. Booking for a Business Trip is simple. It’s very similar to other online booking platforms.

Searching Business Trip flights will only show you public fares, but you can select “Show Marine flights” to get marine fares as well, if the traveller holds documents to prove they are a seafarer.

Booking a Crew Change is slightly different. Let’s have a look.

On the Crew Change screen, you can add all the information about your crew change:
Crew Change Date
Crew Change Airport
Vessel Name
Vessel Flag
Flying to the vessel:Arriving to crew change airport
Flying home: Departing from crew change airport

✈️ Crew Change Airport - Search based on the port with the map.

When you’re unsure which airport is more convenient for your crew change, you can search based on the port.

Type the port name on the “Crew Change Airport” field. The platform will automatically suggest an airport. If you prefer to see all possible options nearby, you can take a look at the map by clicking “Show on map”.


On the map, you will see a big blue pin that indicates the port of your choice. Then you will see more pins with an airplane that shows the airports nearby.


Have you noticed that they have a different color? Here’s the reason:
Blue airplane: Indicates the large airports. They have a lot of flights and usually provide better fares and good geographical coverage.
Grey airplane: Indicates medium-sized airports. They have an average number of flights. They may have good prices on specific routes and insufficient geographical coverage.
Outlined airplane: Indicates small airports. They have a small number of flights. Poor geographical coverage, and they’re unlikely to give good prices.

You can choose an airport from the map or from the list. Then you click the blue button that says “Use this airport”, and that will be the airport used for your search.

🏠Flying home and 🚢Flying to the vessel

On this part of the search screen, you can select the destinations of your travelers. You can add as many on-signers and off-signers as you need. You can also enter nearby destinations or close dates to compare prices.


Once all the information is written, just click “Search flights” to start your search.

If your account is connected to your crewing software, you will automatically get all the crew change information by typing the vessel name. To read more about crewing software integrations, click here.

The search results screen looks something like this:


And from there you can start selecting the flights you need.
