The Members Portal is the access point through which Members can coordinate their travel plans, book flights, manage their profile, interact with other Members, etc.
While Members are compromising to a certain extent in terms of travel flexibility in order to enjoy the cost savings and other benefits of semi-private travel, their Members Portal will provide the ultimate in convenience and simplicity. Intuitive, user-friendly interface design combined with innovative visual tools make using the Social Air system a breeze. There are a several key features within the Members Portal that enhance the experience and separate Social Air from any other form of travel.
Trip Request
Every airline and private charter company has a form that allows people to request time and location of flights they want to take. Social Air will have a trip request form too, of course. The Social Air trip request form will include a few other features that are unique, however.
- Markets and Airports – In terms of departure and arrival destinations, Members will be first be able to select markets (i.e. cities) and based on that selection will then be presented with a list of airports within that market in case they want to specify to that level
- Social Indicator – Members will have an option to indicate what they want to do on the flight, so that other Members can interact with them (or not) accordingly
- Business networking

Social Profile
The Members Portal will facilitate the social network aspect of the Membership by allowing people to share as much social information as they like.
Privacy Settings
Seat Selection
Members will be able to select their seats in advance of their flight, so Members wanting more privacy can select seats that face away from other passengers, and Members with something to discuss can ensure they are facing each other.
