I think flights would be something you'd pay for - but ask her if that's what she'd expect.

I had a friend as my doula. She was fantastic. I knew she'd done it before, but it was less her experience and more the support I knew she'd give. My midwives had the experience, I needed someone to just be with me who'd been there before but didn't need to have any medical responsibility. That probably doesn't make any sense.
