Key Takeaways
- Planning rooms include a when2meet-style date poll, no separate scheduling site.
- Members mark free days on a two-month calendar; overlap shows as a live heatmap.
- When everyone submits, Jettova auto-locks the earliest window that fits the whole group and the trip length.
- No perfect overlap? The organizer picks the best window from the same heatmap.
- The locked window becomes the trip's dates, feeding the itinerary and bookings — across web, iOS, and Android.
Every group trip dies the same death: the endless "what weekend works for everyone?" thread that scrolls for days, where someone's always missing and the one date everyone finally agrees on turns out to clash with a wedding. Jettova builds the fix directly into its planning rooms with a date poll, think when2meet, but living right next to the trip you're actually planning.
Inside a room, each member gets a two-month calendar and marks the days they're free, either tapping cells or dragging across a range. As people fill it in, the calendar turns into a live heatmap: days where almost everyone is available glow green, partial overlaps sit in yellow, and the no-go days stay red. For the first time, the group can see its real availability instead of guessing at it in a chat.
When everyone has submitted their availability, Jettova does the part humans are bad at: it finds the earliest stretch of days that works for the whole group and matches the length of the trip, and locks it in automatically. No one has to eyeball the grid and negotiate. The consensus window just surfaces.
When there's no perfect overlap (and with real friend groups, there often isn't) the trip's organizer gets to make the call from the same heatmap, picking the window that includes the most people. Either way the decision is made against real data, not vibes, and everyone can see exactly why that window won.
The chosen dates don't just sit there. They flow straight into the trip. Once the window is locked, those become the trip's departure and return dates, so the itinerary, the budget, and every booking link are built around dates the whole group has already agreed to. The date poll isn't a separate scheduling tool you have to reconcile later; it's step one of the build.
And because Jettova rooms run on the web, iPhone, and Android at once, the friend on Android marking their free weekends and the friend on the web doing the same are filling in the same poll. The group scheduler that usually requires a third website everyone forgets to check is just part of the room.
