Someone on the same flight, looking out for your family.
Post the trip for a parent who flies alone — airports, dates, flight number, what help is needed. People offering help on that route say hello; numbers are shared only when you accept. Nobody pays, nobody gets paid.
Travelers who need a hand on their flight. Flying the same way? Open a card and say hello.

Need a companion, offering help, or run a family group.
Post for your mother, father or a friend who flies alone: airports, dates, flight number, what help is needed, the languages she speaks. Helpers on the route say hello; you choose who.
Post a trip →Already booked HYD → DFW? Post your flight once with what you can help with and how many travelers you can take. Families who match see you first; you chat before any number is shared.
Offer help →Share a post to the family or temple group as a message with a Desi Neighbours link. Relatives flying the same week reply inside Desi Neighbours, so the flight details stay accurate and phone numbers stay hidden.
See the share flow →Post or search. Say hello. Connect. Fly, then say thanks.
Post for a parent who flies alone, or offer help on a flight you’ve already booked. Airports, dates, flight numbers — from the ticket.
Open a card and write a short note; the trip travels with it. Chat first — phone numbers are shared only when both sides agree.
Share seat numbers, do a video call so your parent knows the face, agree where to meet at check-in. Confirming closes the post.
The day before, a reminder for both of you with seats and flight details. The day after landing we ask how it went; the thank-you lands on the companion’s profile.
Companions are volunteers. Desi Neighbours never handles payment — report anyone who asks for money.
Same-flight matches, requests and the day-before reminder as push alerts.
A new helper on your alert route, a hello on your post, an accept, “Amma flies tomorrow” with the shared seats, and the thank-you the day after landing. Chat and WhatsApp in one tap once both sides agree. Free on both stores.

Before you post.
Who are the companions?
Members like you who fly the same route — a nurse going home, a student, someone visiting parents. Nobody pays and nobody is paid; report anyone who asks for money.
How does matching work?
Same flight number and date first, then the same route within a few days. Families see people offering help on their route; helpers see families who need someone.
Is my mother’s phone number visible?
No. Every poster has a verified phone, but numbers stay hidden until you share them in a chat. WhatsApp opens only after the other side accepts.
What can a companion help with?
Check-in and boarding, immigration and customs forms, the transit at Doha or Frankfurt, wheelchair coordination, luggage, language, medication reminders — or just company.
Nobody is on the flight yet. Now what?
Set an alert for the route and month and we tell you the moment someone posts. Posts close by themselves the day after arrival, so the list stays current.
Can I post for someone else?
Yes. Post for a parent or a friend — you stay the contact person, and the card says “Posted by her son Arjun” so helpers know who they’ll talk to.
