Arrive somewhere new and know exactly what to do next — friendly guidance from a fellow traveller or local 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 locals and fellow travellers who can help them find their feet in the public areas of the airport.
Share your flight, arrival date, and what you're unsure about — finding transport, reading the signs, or getting your bearings in arrivals.
Locals and travellers who know the airport area can offer to help. You see their profile before you accept anyone.
Everything happens in the TravelBuddy247 app first — you never share personal contact details before you're ready.
AirportBuddy is for solo travellers landing in Germany for the first time, international students moving to a new city, families who want reassurance getting oriented at the airport, and budget travellers who'd rather have local know-how than pay for an expensive transfer.
Some requests are reviewed by hand before they're processed. Helper profiles aren't formally verified yet, so trust your judgment when you accept help — the same common sense you'd use meeting anyone new.

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.
