Who lands when, and who’s picking them up
Thanksgiving with family flying and driving in from all over. Caravan puts everyone’s arrival on one board, so nobody has to ask in the group chat.
How it works
- Make the trip and send one link to the family text.
- Everyone adds how they’re getting there. Type a flight like “AA 2207 Wednesday”, or add a screenshot of the booking. Drivers add when they’re leaving and how many seats they have.
- Sort out the pickups. Ask someone to pick a person up at the airport. Caravan sends the ask, and the board shows who said yes.
On the day
Flights update on their own, so the board shows the real landing time. When everyone’s on it, the host can see at a glance who still needs a ride.
Caravan is in private testing, so the app is invite only for now.

Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Caravan is free, and everyone you invite is always free.
Does everyone need an iPhone?
Caravan is an iPhone app for now, and adding travel takes the app. We’re working on letting people without it add their travel from the link.
Who can see the trip?
Only the people you invite. There’s no public feed, and booking codes and seat numbers stay private.
Does it book anything?
No. You book flights, cars and places to stay the way you always do. Caravan keeps the picture of who’s coming and going.
