Nightmare over

[Robsmom]

Again as they promised my rollator is back home. I really have to have a plan next time I visit my daughter in the UK. Maybe I'll just keep mine here and get one for over there, then it won't get so banged up on the plane.🤔

Glad you got it back. Sometimes I'm not so proud to be British. They really should do better.

Reminds me of an old spoof slogan for Concorde flights - "Breakfast in London, Lunch in New York, Luggage in Paris." Some things, sadly, don't change.

There was someone on the radio recently who said he keeps a battered old wheelchair to fly with so if it gets lost or damaged it's not a disaster, and that's something he learnt from a similar experience.

sounds like a plan.

Would the airline not gate check it for you? When we fly, I take my rollator or wheelchair to the door of the plane and they take it then. It is waiting for me at the door when I get off the plane.

If you go back and forth a lot, it would be well worth it!

[Robsmom]

Thank you, that is a thought. Until now I've never had a problem and I've flown a lot in the last two years. My rollator was always on the carousel with my luggage.

That sounds like a good plan Robsmom ! Glad it is back to you as promised.

How will you get from the airport to your daughter's

[Robsmom in reply to Tazmanian]

She picks me up when I arrive, fortunately she doesn't live far from Heathrow. If I have one there she can bring it with her.

[Tazmanian in reply to Robsmom]

I guess that's that, you should leave one at your daughter's if she has room
