Invite friends and build a shared flight history

Updated 2026-10-17

Use the Friends area to connect with people you travel with, choose which flights to share, and look back at trips you took together.

FlightMessenger Friends page with shared flight history

Send an invitation

Open Friends in FlightMessenger, enter your friend's email address, and select Send Invite.

Accept the friend request

Your friend opens FlightMessenger and accepts the pending request. After you are connected, either of you can add shared flights to the other's account.

Share a flight

When creating a flight message, choose Share with friends and select the people to include. To share a flight you already logged, open it from Past Flights and use its sharing controls.

Open your shared history

Choose a friend in the Friends list to see the flights you have shared together. You can also add eligible past flights from that friend's history view.

Choose what you share

A friend connection makes sharing available; you still choose which flight or trip to share.
