I was wondering on what ppl think. Is it rude to ask for help with travel when going to meet someone?

I think it depends on a mutual arrangement between both sides

I dont think its rude to ask so long as there is a mutual understanding of whether there will be some kind of reimbursement

Absolutely not I think it's fair that travel costs get shared

Travel expenses need to be allowed for in any case, if your situation requires some funding, then if upfront about it and genuine then I don’t see a problem with it, especially if someone is receiving some delicious reward for you to be travelling for their mutual pleasure. Not everyone is loaded with cash these days.

I think it should be a "shared responsibility", re; "costs"?
I am happy to travel.

I don't think it is rude to ask so long as its not the beginning of a long list of can I, can you, do you, have you of expectations.

There are a few caveats that I see, asking for help to travel and not using said help to travel to agreed destination is a red flag and can be viewed unfavourably.

Or asking for financial support to be told no.

Meeting half way suggests that both make the time and effort into meeting. That way its an even playing field.
