Hi,
If any of you know of someone coming from Nepal to US in next two-three weeks, please let me know. My mom is coming here but she hasnt travelled alone before..so it would be nice if she could find someone to travel with.

Thanks!!

Bostongirl,
malai gundruk ra gudpak launa pareko thiyo, can you ask your mum if she can bring some gundruk and gudpak for me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

gundruk ta hoina goo khane bhaye chai ma dinchu, contact gara malai.

hahahahaha

Bostongirl,
Is the problem about not having a company or not being able to travel alone?

If it is latter, I think you can buy a ticket for a slightly higher price and the airline will do the rest of the transit duty...

Bibas, she has travelled before, but only to India. I am just a worried daughter... she might get lost or confused coming all the way to US. I will feel much better if I knew she was not alone.

Hey, bostongirl , I am sure there are lot of Nepali travelling out to US, she will talk to some other nepali who will be travelling with her and will help her, I am sure, don't worry. Although I do understand how you may feel.
She will find a way, and I wish your mother a safe journey,any way.

Cheer up. :)

you are right gurudev! don't ever underestimate your mother, esp nepali mothers :-)

Hi bosotongilr, one idea would be to talk to the TICKET OUNTER ppl from where she got ticket, and get contact of the ppl travelling by same flight. I know one of my fren's old father came London in same way. Im sure there are many good ppl flying in same plane.

Lucky u, u can meet your MOM........and Happy Tihar.....

P.S. if she has travelled alone in India, then its not big deal......i think she speaks Eng.

Thats a great idea..thanks Amazing! I hope she gets here safely.

Boston girl,
As I said before, if she is not confident that she can make it through the international airports, it is a better idea to pay a premium and get the airline arrange for the trouble of changing airlines.
So, ask her to contact the ticketing agency to do the needful for passengers with special needs.

This is, however, the last resort.

Bostongirl, If she speaks (some) English, then she should be fine. But, if she doesn't, then it is better you find someone who she can accompany. My mom doesn't speak English and she had a lot of problem when she came here.

There is a thing called "Meet-and-Assist" that the airlines provide; you may want to request for that service. That will not cost extra. Also, since she is flying from Nepal, you can have your mom or someone there request the travel agency she brought the ticket from to find if there are other Nepalis flying to the same destination.

I bet you can't wait to see your mom! Good luck!

Hey boston gal.. I think there is someone comming from nepal within a month hai.. well ma ahile Pheonix ma chu.. Ma new york ma aauda mero koi manche aaucha one months pachi.. If that time is possible then you can get ur mom wid the person who is comming within a month...

I think she is coming here by next week or so. I am gonna go ahead and get that 'meet and assist' service that Slackdemic is talking about. Last thing you want her to go through is get stranded in the airport.

Bostongirl...........My brother is coming within 2, 3 weeks..........if u want my help..........let me know

Bostongirl,
My parents are coming to NY from KTM on October 27th. If you need further info, e-mail me at: applepradhan@yahoo.com

Hello Slackdemic,

I really like your suggestion about people who don't speak english at all. By the way I just wanna get some idea about meet & assist program that is provided by the airlines.
Pls. give me some deatils how it goe's.

This is the latest news, she is leaving KTM this sunday, 22nd october. She stopping over in London and then to Boston. Anyone else travelling the same day? If not...she will have to fend for herself...so much for spur of the moment decision!

are u going to offer any $$$ for a travel companion ?


make a reasonable offer.

not too many people will do something for free.
