How booking works

Members can book seats through the app or through the website, choosing scheduled, crowdsourced or private flights. Travel agents can use the partner program, and corporate customers have a dedicated BLADE Corporate offering. Because the operators are separate licensed companies, passengers should confirm operator details when they book.
