curious if there is a gemach that would cover the air fare for someone to fly for a shidduch -obviously for someone who doesn't have money.

I've heard of certain out-of-town communities that will pay for boys to fly in and date local girls (e.g. LA, through the generosity of R' Shlomo Rechnitz), but never of a general shidduch gemach. Opening credit cards and getting sign-up bonuses can help get enough points for some round-trip tickets, though.

They feel like nebach already when the boys (or their mothers) think a 5 hour flight is the end of the world.
Actually they think the NY boys are nebach for thinking that way!
