Airport assistance

I have just received a sunflower lanyard from Heathrow airport. This lanyard lets the staff know that you have an invisible disability and you also get through security quicker , I have not tried yet so not sure if it works that way will let you know I go use . To apply sent email to [e-mail] and request a lanyard

Let's hope that this becomes a new trend, in service providers, to recognise all invisible disabilities.

What a great idea! Would have helped me immensely, today, as I have just got off a very crowded Ship n found it so stressful. I do hope it becomes the Norm. 😊✌️🌻

Just applied for this and found out the same lanyard can also be used at Gatwick.

I believe that all major airports recognize the sunflower lanyard

Grumpyoldgit, have you used it yet? I have just urged my mother to get one for my father as he has mobility and vision issues from RA and bowel continence problems from cancer 2 years ago. He’s very proud and would never wear the lanyard himself but my mother should be able to wear it for him and it brings great peace of mind

I have not used it yet I intend to in Sept when I fly to Australia from Manchester airport .I hope it works for them

[Fennella02 in reply to grumpyoldgit]

They fly on Monday so I'll let you know next week. Did you have to provide any 'evidence' by way of dla or hospital letters?

[grumpyoldgit in reply to Fennella02]

No I just said that I had COPD and that was it a lanyard was sent out to me ,no questions or letters required
