No one should fly alone and afraid

Find a travel companion on the same flight.

Somewhere, a mother is boarding her first flight to meet her grandchild. She doesn't speak the language at the transfer airport, and her phone battery is low. You're on that same flight. HelpMeToFly helps you find each other.

Free, always. Just your name, email and mobile number.

Imagine

Asha, 72, is flying Mumbai → Stockholm. It's her first time on a plane.

Her daughter in Stockholm hasn't slept properly in a week, worrying about the connection in Doha.

Ravi is on the same flight.

He saw Asha's request and offered to walk with her through Doha, all the way to the arrivals hall. Her daughter finally sleeps.

How it works

  1. 1

    Share the journey

    Ask for help for yourself or someone you love. Or, if you're flying anyway, add your trip.

  2. 2

    Find each other

    We show who's flying the same route on the same day. Families can ask; travellers can offer. Either one can reach out first.

  3. 3

    Say yes, and fly together

    Once someone accepts, you can chat here and see each other's phone number for the day itself. Until then, your details stay private.

Small acts. Enormous relief.

The help is simple, but to someone far from home, it can feel like everything. It comes from someone who is travelling anyway.

  • Finding the gate

    When the airport is huge, the signs are confusing, and the clock is ticking.

  • Connecting flights

    A steady companion from one terminal to the next, so no one misses the onward flight.

  • Language help

    Someone who can explain the announcement, or speak to the desk, in a familiar tongue.

  • Baggage

    Finding the right belt, and a hand with the trolley on the way out.

  • First-time flyers

    Gentle reassurance for a parent or grandparent taking their very first flight.

  • Meeting family

    Walking with them all the way to the arrivals hall, where their family is waiting.

Think of the person who once helped you when you were lost in a strange place. Now it's your turn to be that person for someone else.

Safety first, always

  • Your phone number is shown only to the person you travel with, and only after you've both said yes.
  • Chat opens only once help is agreed, and our team can review it to keep everyone safe.
  • Report or block anyone, any time. Our team reviews every report.
