A message that travels with you

If you could say one last thing
what would it be?

Write a Farewell before your flight. If your flight has an accident that we confirm, it is delivered to the person you choose.

One credit per message · Packs from $5 · Private

To Anna,

If you are reading this, my flight did not make it home. I want you to know that every day with you was the best part of my life. I love you more than words can say.

Forever yours, Marc

Simple and private

How it works

Four small steps, about five minutes in total.

Write your message

Say what matters, and choose who should receive it.

Add your flight

Flight number and date. The flight is checked automatically.

Use 1 credit

The message becomes active and stays stored until the flight is over.

Fly with peace of mind

Stored privately. Sent only if we confirm an accident.

If the flight lands safely, nothing is sent. The copy attached to the flight is deleted 30 days after landing. Your saved messages stay in your library until you delete them.

Private by design. We do not read your message in normal operation. Only your chosen contact receives it, and only if it is delivered.

Frequently asked questions

Why save a message if flying is so safe?

Flying is one of the safest ways to travel. In 2025, airlines operated about 38.7 million flights and 8 had a fatal accident with 394 onboard fatalities.

But rare is not never. Accidents happen without warning, and there is no time to say what was left unsaid.

It works like a seatbelt or travel insurance: it is hoped that it will never be needed, but it brings peace of mind.

How does it work?

Write your message, choose a contact and add your flight number. Your message is kept until we confirm a flight accident and that you are among the victims. If your flight lands safely, nothing is delivered.

Who confirms an accident?

Automated flight-data checks show whether a plane never landed or had an incident. Our team then reviews each case personally, using official documents and reports, to confirm the accident and approve the delivery.

If an accident is confirmed and no survivors are reported, we presume you did not survive. In rare cases a message could be delivered by mistake, because early reports can be wrong.

Is it free?

Creating an account is free. Each Farewell costs one credit, and credits are sold in packs: 5 credits for $5, 11 credits for $10, or 17 credits for $15. A Farewell is one message linked to one contact person and one flight. There is no subscription and no recurring fee.

A Farewell only becomes active once your flight is found and a credit is used.

What happens if my flight lands safely?

If your flight lands safely, nothing is delivered. Thirty days after the landing, the copy of the message and the contact details attached to that flight are deleted. Your saved messages and contacts stay in your library until you delete them.

The credit is not refunded, as it covers keeping the message ready for delivery during the whole flight.

Is my message private?

Your message is private. We do not read it as part of normal operation, but it is stored in our database and is technically accessible to us and to our hosting provider. If a delivery is triggered, it is sent to your chosen contact by SMS and email, and is then handled by those providers.

Can I edit or delete my message?

You can edit or delete an eligible draft. Once a message becomes a Farewell you can only edit the message before the flight.

Accidents happen without warning. Words shouldn't be left unsaid.

Delivery depends on official confirmation of an incident and cannot be guaranteed.
