JetJoin helps you find those travelers. Passengers publish their upcoming flights on the platform and show how much free space they have in their luggage. Senders can choose a suitable flight, offer a reward and agree on carrying permitted items.
This turns sending a parcel by plane into finding the right traveler and agreeing on terms, rather than organising a separate delivery route.
How to send a parcel by plane with JetJoin
First, decide on the departure city, the destination and roughly when the parcel needs to arrive. On JetJoin you can browse flights published by travelers and choose someone who is heading to the city you need.
1. Find a suitable flight
Enter the route and review the available offers. Pay attention to the departure date and time, the traveler’s details, the available luggage weight and the specifics of the trip.
2. Describe your parcel
State the contents, weight and size of the item. This helps the traveler understand whether they can take it with them.
3. Offer a delivery price
On JetJoin the sender proposes the reward for carrying the parcel. The traveler can accept the offer, suggest a different amount or decline.
4. Agree on the terms
Discuss where the parcel will be handed over, how it will be collected and any other important details. Once you have an agreement, confirm the deal in the app.
5. Hand the parcel to the traveler
Hand over the permitted item at the agreed time. The recipient collects it at the destination as arranged between the participants.
Parcel delivery by plane with travelers
Every day people fly for business, holidays, studies or to visit family. Not all of them use their full luggage allowance.
JetJoin lets travelers publish their free luggage space and lets senders find those offers. The key feature of the platform is that the traveler decides which requests suit them.
For example, a passenger is flying from Almaty to Dubai with 10 kg of free weight. One sender offers a small 2 kg box, another a 3 kg bag of personal items. The traveler can consider both offers, discuss the reward with each sender and decide for themselves. The price of each delivery is agreed separately.
How much does it cost to send a parcel by plane
The price depends on several factors: the route, the weight and size of the item, the travel date and the agreement with the traveler. Unlike a fixed per-kilogram rate, on JetJoin the parties discuss the price of each specific delivery.
For example, a sender needs to send a 2 kg parcel from Istanbul to Paris. They find a traveler with a suitable flight and offer a certain amount. If both sides are happy, they confirm the agreement in the app. Before confirming, the user sees the total price including applicable fees.
JetJoin’s sender fee is 15% of the delivery price, and the minimum delivery price is 10,000 ₸. For example, a delivery priced at 10,000 ₸ costs 11,500 ₸ in total. Your card is charged only after the delivery is confirmed.
What parcels can be sent by plane
Whether an item can be carried depends on its contents, the airline’s requirements and the rules of the destination country. Travelers may consider requests to carry documents, clothes, gifts, personal belongings and other permitted items.
Check the restrictions before sending. Some electronic devices, batteries, liquids, food and medicines may require special carriage conditions or paperwork. The sender must describe the contents truthfully. The traveler may refuse to carry an item if it raises doubts or breaks the rules.
Sending parcels abroad by plane
If you need to send items abroad, consider not only the route but also customs requirements. Carrying goods between countries may involve restrictions on certain categories, declarations or duties.
JetJoin helps you find a traveler with a suitable international flight, but it does not replace customs clearance or release the participants from complying with the law. Before agreeing on an international delivery, check the export, import and carriage rules for the specific item.
How to hand a parcel to a traveler safely
Handing your things to a stranger requires clear terms and a responsible approach. JetJoin provides identity verification for users, in-app chat and payment through the platform: the sender’s card is charged only after the traveler confirms delivery with the code received from the sender.
Before the handover, confirm the contents of the parcel, its condition, approximate value, the meeting place and how it will be collected. Keep in mind that payment protection does not mean the value of the contents is automatically insured.
What to do if there is no suitable flight
Sometimes there are no travelers on your route yet, or the published dates don’t work. JetJoin has a “Notify me about a new flight” feature that lets you hear about new offers on the chosen route, so you don’t have to keep checking manually.
