For other uses, see Crash pad.
A crashpad is a location used by airline flight crews for temporary lodging.
Since many pilots and flight attendants are based at an airport other than the location in which they live, a crashpad is used for resting and sleeping when commuting before or after a trip. Single-family homes, apartments, and hotels are common dwellings that airline crews use as a crashpad.
Crashpad rent is typically collected on a monthly basis.
A typical bedroom in a crashpad might include four to six bunk beds. Beds can be either assigned permanently or made available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
