AirportBuddy

Arrive somewhere new and get peer guidance from an AirportBuddy traveller with compatible journey details in the public areas of the airport.

Landing somewhere new for the first time can be a lot — unfamiliar transport, confusing signs, no one to ask. AirportBuddy connects arriving travellers with fellow travellers whose submitted airport journey details are compatible.

How it works

1

Post your arrival

Share your flight, arrival date, and what you're unsure about — finding transport, reading the signs, or getting your bearings in arrivals.

2

See compatible AirportBuddy helpers

Travellers with compatible submitted journey details can offer to help. You see their available profile and trip context before you accept anyone.

3

Connect safely through the app

Everything happens in the TravelBuddy247 app first — you never share personal contact details before you're ready.

Who is it for?

AirportBuddy is for solo travellers, international students, families, newcomers, and first-time flyers who want peer guidance in public airport areas.

Good to know

Sensitive AirportBuddy actions require an email-verified account. Email verification is not identity verification, vetting, or a background check. Review the member's available profile and journey context before accepting help.

Is AirportBuddy official airport assistance?

No. AirportBuddy is peer airport-area guidance from fellow travellers with compatible submitted journey details, in public airport areas only. It is not official airport, airline, taxi, medical, disability, mobility, elderly-care, immigration, legal, or emergency assistance.

Need a wheelchair, mobility help, or official assistance? That must be arranged through your airline (ideally at least 48 hours before your flight) or the airport's official assistance desk. AirportBuddy does not replace official services.

AirportBuddy FAQ

What is AirportBuddy?

A way to find peer airport-area guidance from fellow travellers with compatible submitted journey details — for example help finding check-in, a gate, baggage claim, or understanding signs in public airport areas. Helpers are other travellers, not official staff.

Is AirportBuddy official airport or airline assistance?

No. It is peer guidance in public airport areas only — not official airport, airline, taxi, medical, disability, mobility, elderly-care, immigration, legal, or emergency assistance. For official help, contact your airline or the airport's assistance desk.

Can AirportBuddy help with a wheelchair, mobility, or medical needs?

No. Those require official assistance — arrange it directly with your airline (ideally at least 48 hours before your flight) or the airport's official assistance desk.

Who is AirportBuddy for?

First-time flyers, international students, newcomers, and solo or budget travellers who want friendly peer guidance in public airport areas — not a paid transfer or an official service.

How does AirportBuddy work?

You post your route and date. AirportBuddy looks for travellers on a similar route, airport, and time. You choose who to contact, and chat opens only after the other person accepts. Keep all help in public airport areas.

Is AirportBuddy free?

Yes — it is free to join and use during the current phase. AirportBuddy is peer support, not a paid transfer or concierge service.
