Guide

How to get everyone aligned before you book

Five steps. Create the trip, share a link, collect answers, look at overlap, then keep planning the same trip.

Do these in order. Then book.

1. Start the trip

On the web, choose Quick, Weekend away, or Big group trip, then give it a name. You can start without creating an account. Weekend is four prompts. Big group adds attendance, priorities, and constraints. Quick is who’s in, vibe, and when.

2. Share one link

Send the join link in chat. Friends can answer from the shared link without creating an account. Do not make a second trip for the same weekend.

3. Everyone answers privately where appropriate

Each person fills the prompts for that start: availability, vibe, destination preferences, budget, and anything extra. Budget stays a personal range. Dates are painted on the When board when a request is open.

4. See where the group overlaps

After the required prompts, Awaii shows how you line up: common ground and unresolved choices. This is not an itinerary. It is the brief.

5. Keep planning the same trip

Continue on the web or open it in Awaii on iPhone. Ideas, Where, When, and Together stay on that trip. For what the browser can and cannot do, see the web companion.

How-to FAQ

Do friends need accounts?

No. Friends can answer from the shared link without creating an account. You can also start an alignment on the web without creating an account.

Can answers be changed?

Yes, while the alignment is still open. Open the prompt again and save an update. Availability can be repainted on an open date request.

What happens after everyone answers?

You see how the group lines up: common ground and what is still open. The same trip stays available on the web and in Awaii on iPhone. Web does not lock dates or turn answers into bookings.
