The passenger manifest for private flights

After you pay for a private jet, add every passenger to the manifest by the cutoff: what is needed, the share link, deadlines and what happens if someone is missing.

2 min readUpdated 2 November 2026For guests

Every private flight needs a passenger manifest: the list of everyone on board, with their ID details. You add it in the app after you pay.

What to add

For each passenger:

  • full name, exactly as it appears on their ID
  • passport details for international flights, or ID details for domestic flights

You can enter the details yourself, or tap Share to add your details to send each passenger a secure link so they add their own.

The cutoff

Flight Manifest complete by
International 24 hours before departure
Domestic 6 hours before departure
Booked after the cutoff Within 2 hours of booking, and never later than wheels up

We remind you by email and push 48, 24 and 12 hours before the cutoff.

What happens next

  1. The operator reviews the manifest and approves it.
  2. Pickup passes the details to the operator. Pickup does not judge passports or travel documents.
  3. Identity and document checks happen at the terminal, by the operator's team and the authorities.

Your own ID check

As the booker, you also complete an ID check after paying and before the flight. See How to verify your identity.

If something is missing

  • A passenger is not on the manifest. That person cannot board. The flight goes ahead and there is no refund for their seat.
  • The manifest is incomplete, or your ID check is not done, at the cutoff. It counts as your cancellation at that time, under your cancellation option, with no extra penalty. See the Cancellation and Refund Policy.
