What is Oerno?
Oerno is a social travel app for iOS, Android and the web. You can join small trips other people are hosting, host your own, and meet verified travellers heading your way. Each trip has one shared plan and one group chat, and each person books their own flight and stay inside Oerno.
How does joining a trip work?
Find an open trip, ask to join, and the host approves you. Requests expire after 72 hours if the host doesn't answer, and full trips have a waitlist. Hosts can also share an invite link with friends.
How do I know other travellers are who they say they are?
Hosts and members verify their ID with a document and a matching selfie, and verified people carry a badge. Hosts can mark a trip verified-only, and women-only spaces read the gender on the verified ID.
Is it safe to travel with people I meet on Oerno?
Safety is built into the app, not bolted on. Others see your city, never your exact location, and location sharing is opt in. Block, report and mute work everywhere, and a blocked person disappears for you across search, trips and chats. You can share your trip with an emergency contact, and SOS works offline. Oerno is 18+ only.
Do I have to pay for other people in the group?
No. Each person books and pays only for their own parts, and no money passes between members. The group sees that you've booked, never what you paid.
What can I book on Oerno?
At launch you can book stays and flights inside the app, paying with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. Prices are re-checked before you pay, every fee is shown in USD, and your bookings sit in your wallet with a readiness checklist for the trip.
Who is Miles?
Miles is Oerno's AI travel concierge, available on every screen. Miles can search for stays and flights, draft a trip plan, and answer the group when you mention @miles in a chat. Miles prepares bookings as confirm cards but never pays: only your tap completes a booking.
Is Oerno free?
Yes. Joining Oerno, joining trips and hosting trips are free. Oerno earns a small margin on bookings, and every fee is shown before you pay.
Who is Oerno for?
Solo travellers in their 20s and 30s looking for company, friend groups planning a trip together, and people heading to festivals, events and adventures who want a crew.
When can I get the app?
Oerno launches on iOS, Android and the web at the same time. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first in, with a direct line to the team.
