Priya S. · For parents · 60s
Their first trip abroad. Help at the Doha transfer would mean a lot.
Speaks Telugu, Hindi
See who's flying your route, who could use a hand, and who's happy to help. Parents flying alone, students on their first trip, and everyone in between.
How it clicks
Priya's parents are flying to Dallas through Doha for the first time. Rahul, a student, is on the same flight. One request, one yes, and Priya's parents have someone looking out for them the whole way.
An example of how it works. The names are made up.

How it works
Add your date and route, and say whether you could use a hand or can offer one.
Pick your route on the calendar and send a request to someone flying the same day.
Contact details are shared only after the other person accepts. Plan the rest on WhatsApp or email.
The calendar
Pick your airports to see how many travelers need help or can help each day. Sign in to see who they are and connect.
Travel safe
Travel Companions works because people look out for each other. These rules keep it that way.
Not a gift, not a sealed packet, not medicine. You're responsible for everything in your bags.
Helping out is a favor between travelers. Anyone asking for money or card details is a red flag.
Say hello at the gate or on board, and keep your family in the loop about who you're meeting.
Every trip has a report button, and our team reviews each report.
Questions
Only signed-in members see names on the calendar: your first name and last initial, route, date, languages, and note. Everyone else sees how many people are flying each day, nothing more. Your phone number, email, and flight number never appear on the board.
You can check the calendar for your route without one. Posting a trip, seeing who's flying, and sending requests need a CheckVisaSlots account, so everyone you meet has signed in too.
Send a request with a short message about your trip and how you can help, or what help you need. If the other person accepts, you both see each other's contact details and can plan the rest on WhatsApp, a call, or email.
Yes. Choose My parent or My parents when you post. Requests come to you, so you can talk to the helper first and then introduce them.
Any route with scheduled flights, anywhere in the world. Pick the airports you're flying from and to, and the layover if you know it.
Post your trip and see who's on your route.
