** my family is there to help me move my personal belongings. therefore shouldn't it be considered as cost of shipping my belongings?

Deductible moving expenses are cost of transporting goods and 1 trip for you.
Family member's plane fare doesn't count. Your stuff wasn't on the plane.
How many vehicles/trucks did you have? You may be able to claim 1 hotel room and mileage for each vehicle.

No, sorry. Their expenses aren't deductible, just yours. And the fact that you paid their expenses doesn't make them deductible for you.
