Find a travel buddy for your next trip

HelpCarry matches you with travellers on the same flight, route or layover. Get company, a hand at the airport, or explore together. Free, worldwide.

For every kind of traveller

  • Solo traveller

    Someone to chat with at the gate and on board.

  • First-time flyer

    A calm guide through check-in, security and arrival.

  • Older traveller

    A friendly hand with gates, forms and family updates.

  • Airport help

    Find your way around a big, unfamiliar airport.

  • Layover & transfers

    Make your connection with someone who knows the hub.

  • Language help

    A buddy who speaks your language and the local one.

  • Shared ride from airport

    Split a taxi or train from the airport.

  • Explore together

    Explore your destination together for a day.

How matching works

  1. 1

    Post your trip with dates, airports and, if you like, flight numbers.

  2. 2

    We show people on the same flight first, then the same layover, then the same route and dates.

  3. 3

    Sign in, chat in the app, and agree to meet in a public place at the airport.

Safety first

  • Meet first in a busy public place at the airport, never at a home or hotel.
  • Keep your passport, boarding pass and phone with you at all times.
  • Never send money, deposits or gift cards. Help on HelpCarry is free.
  • Never carry a bag or item for a buddy, even if it seems harmless.
  • Share your trip with family using the follow link after you book.
  • Leave and report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. Use SOS in an emergency.

Travel buddies are for adults (18+). Children travelling alone should use the airline's unaccompanied minor service.
