JetMates

JetMates is your personal network of trusted travel companions on jet4us. Think of it as a contact list built for private aviation — mutual, confirmed connections with people you'd actually fly with.

What JetMates is for​

  • Invite trusted people to your pooling trips without sharing a public link
  • Start a private conversation with a travel companion at any time
  • Build your travel network of frequent flyers you trust

Unlike a general social network, JetMates is purposefully limited: connections are mutual, require confirmation from both sides, and can only be found by exact contact details. This protects everyone's privacy.

Finding and adding a JetMate​

Go to Jet4Me → JetMates.

  1. In the search field, type the exact email address or exact phone number (including country code, for example +12025551234) of the person you want to add.
  2. If they have a jet4us account, their profile card appears.
  3. Tap Add JetMate to send them a connection request.
  4. They'll receive a notification and can accept or decline.

Search is exact-match only. You cannot search by name, partial email, or any other detail. This is intentional — it protects users from being found by people they don't know.

The person must already have a jet4us account. If they're not on jet4us yet, invite them to join first.

Accepting or declining requests​

Incoming JetMate requests appear at the top of your JetMates screen with a gold banner.

  • Tap Accept to confirm the connection. You'll both appear in each other's JetMates list.
  • Tap Decline to reject the request. The request is removed quietly — the other person is not told why.

Your JetMates list​

Once you have connections, they appear in your JetMates list:

  • Sorted by name
  • Each entry shows their display name and a message button
  • Scroll down to load more if you have a long list

Chatting with a JetMate​

Tap the message icon next to their name to open a direct chat. See Chat for more about how conversations work.

Inviting a JetMate to your trip​

When you're creating a pooling trip and want to invite specific people:

  1. Open your trip card in My Flights → Pooling.
  2. Tap Invite.
  3. Select from your JetMates list.
  4. Set how many seats to reserve for them.
  5. Send the invitation.

They'll receive a notification and see the invitation in their Pooling tab. See Trip Invitations for how the other side works.

Disconnecting a JetMate​

If you want to remove someone from your JetMates:

  1. Find them in your JetMates list.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu on their entry.
  3. Select Disconnect JetMate and confirm.

The connection is removed for both sides. Your existing chat history is preserved — you can still see past messages, but you won't be able to send new messages until you reconnect.

Privacy​

  • Your profile is not searchable by name or any browsable directory.
  • Only people who know your exact email or phone number can find you.
  • You are never added to anyone's JetMates without accepting the request yourself.
  • You can disconnect at any time.
