Why Booking with AeroLodging is guaranteed to Beat ID90 and Traditional Third-Party Sites

In today’s travel landscape, aviation professionals have more booking options than ever before. From industry-specific platforms like ID90 Travel to global online travel agencies like Booking.com, the choices can feel overwhelming.

But not all booking platforms are built the same—and more importantly, not all are built with you in mind.

At AeroLodging, everything we do is centered around one mission: delivering real savings, real rewards, and real value to pilots, flight attendants, and aviation professionals.

Let’s break down exactly why AeroLodging stands apart.

1. True Discounted Rates — Not Inflated “Deals”

Many third-party booking sites advertise “discounted” prices, but in reality, those rates are often:

• Marked up behind the scenes

• Influenced by commission structures

• Not optimized specifically for aviation professionals

Even platforms like ID90, while tailored to airline employees, don’t always guarantee the lowest possible rate across all properties.

AeroLodging Difference:

We negotiate directly with hotels to secure exclusive pricing designed specifically for the aviation community.

That means:

• No inflated pricing models

• No generic public rates disguised as deals

• Consistently lower costs for crew members who travel frequently

2. Keep Your Hotel Loyalty Points (Unlike Most OTAs)

One of the biggest hidden downsides of booking through third-party sites like Booking.com is this:

You often don’t earn hotel brand loyalty points.

This means:

• No Marriott Bonvoy points

• No Hilton Honors rewards

• No elite night credits

Over time, that’s a massive loss in value—especially for frequent travelers.

AeroLodging Difference:

With AeroLodging, you can:

• Earn your hotel loyalty points

• Maintain elite status

• Stack benefits with brand programs, true discounted rates AND earn cash back.

You’re not forced to choose between saving money and earning rewards—you get both.

3. Exclusive Cash Back: 2–5% on Every Stay

Here’s where AeroLodging truly separates itself.

Neither ID90 nor major OTAs like Booking.com consistently offer meaningful cash back on bookings.

AeroLodging Advantage:

Every qualifying booking earns you:

• 2–5% cash back rewards

• Real money returned to you—not just points with limited use

• Additional value on top of already discounted rates

This creates a compounding savings effect:

• Lower nightly rates

• PLUS hotel loyalty points

• PLUS cash back

No other platform combines all three.

4. Built Specifically for Aviation Professionals

Most booking platforms are built for the general public.

Even aviation-focused platforms often operate within broader travel frameworks that limit how much value they can deliver.

AeroLodging Difference:

We are 100% focused on the aviation community, including:

• Pilots

• Flight attendants

• Ground crew

• Airline staff

That means:

• Smarter hotel partnerships near airports

• Better understanding of crew schedules

• More relevant inventory where you actually need it

5. No Gimmicks — Just Real Value

Let’s be honest: the travel industry is full of gimmicks.

• “Limited-time deals” that aren’t really limited

• “Member prices” that match public rates

• “Rewards” that take forever to redeem

AeroLodging Philosophy:

We don’t play those games.

We focus on:

• Transparent pricing

• Real discounts

• Immediate, tangible value

Because when you’re on the road constantly, every dollar—and every benefit—matters.
