FAQs
If there is space on base, can I still stay at Aviator Crash Pads?
Altus currently requires an ETP (exception to policy) to stay off base (usually, a pet or spouse accompanying you). Luckily, all our rooms are pet friendly!
But, if the Red River Inn is full, you can get a non-A to stay off base (no pets or spouse required) plus a higher daily lodging rate.
Does Aviator Crash Pads allow pets?
Yes, we are pet-friendly.
We just ask that you be upfront with us if your pet causes any damage and clean up after them in the backyard.
How does payment work?
To make it easy for our Crash Pad guests, we charge your government-issued travel credit card. We will e-mail you a receipt each time we bill and follow up with you to make sure the bill accurately reflects your stay.
Your Air Force daily rate covers everything- rent, utilities, maids, routine maintenance, etc. There are no out-of-pocket costs to you.
**Starting 1 October 2025, we will charge the current TLF rate for single-occupancy/family crash pads. Feel free to ask us for more information about how this works.
Why should I choose Aviator Crash Pads over another crash pad?
A quick review of our 30+ 5-star reviews on Google will give you dozens of reasons. As the most-reviewed crash pad in Altus, our previous tenants cite our responsiveness and attentiveness throughout their stay as a prime reason to stay with us. Five-star reviews, top-notch service and first-class amenities!
Why is staying at Aviator Crash Pads better than staying on base?
Ask any of your buddies who have stayed on base and crash pads provide a better quality of life during a less desirable Altus TDY. The experience and quality of your TDY will be infinitely better if you stay at Aviator Crash Pads home versus on base.
