    Hi Radhika,
    I think you can get help from the airlines itself. My cousin's mil came over to US, alone. She has problems with communication in English. But she came in a wheel-chair accompanied by air-hostess. She was completely satisfied with their service. My cousin told me that the service was free. Check it out. I think you can ask for that kind of help at the counter itself or verify with the travel agent.
    My daughters went to India, twice, alone, 'under the unaccompanied minor' status. But we had to pay for their services. Check it with your travel agent and do the same.

    Hi Radhika,

    I am sure you will be excited in getting your Mother to Austin to visit you.

    Like what Sriniketan has mentioned, you can get wheel chair assistance with the airlines itself by requesting it at the time of booking tickets as well while she boards the flight in India. But this assistance is available only for the 60 or 65+ who are really old.

    Otherwise, you may want to check in the eknazar site - dallas section to find out about travel companions. You can also post a message in Sulekha too asking for a travel companion.

    Is your Mom coming from CHennai? If yes, you can very well ask your people to request at the time check-in about co-passengers from Chennai to Austin / Houston / Dallas and ask for help in changing transit flights at Frankfurt, check-out at the final destination, etc. It is easier to communicate in our native language and ask for help at the boarding point by coming a little early. Airlines like Lufthansa / Air France are ready to do this help by putting us through some friendly co-passengers.

    Good Luck!

    Malathy

    Re: Need a travel companion!!

    Hi Joy
    I have just joined so I could not post earlier. It is good to inform your travel agent and the airline that she will require assisance. They will make the arrangements so that someone will assist her and it will not cost you anything. At check in as well you can see if there is anyone that can keep her company and help her out if she needs any assistance.
    I know it is a bit late but perhaps it will help when she next travels :)

    Re: Looking for Travel companion!

    Hi Selviraj
    I posted a reply to a similar message from Joy. Speak to your travel agent and the airline, they will post a message on the booking that says she requires assistance and during checkin, you can look for people and you will definitely find someone who will keep an eye on her
    Hope to have helped! :)
