Hi

At the helpline people are beginning to call us about travel insurance and oxygen etc.

We have a free travel/holiday pack we can send out - travel insurance - how to obtain oxygen abroad and airline information.

03000 030 555.

Cheers

Jo

Stu 1939, I had a fitness to fly test which indicated I needed oxygen in the airplane whilst flying. The bottom line - The Airline supplied not only oxygen on board but wheel chair assistance at all embarking and disembarking points on route as well as final desritination. Just needed The consultant or GP to sign the required form.

HAPPY flying!!! HOPE THIS HELPS

Hi dogcyus. Thank's for info. It's the airline that supplied the chair assistance not the airport.Will try again.

Stu1939, It was the airports who supplied the wheelchair. The airlines organised it. Hope this clarifies.

Hi

Just an add on - most airports will have ' special assistance services' - give the airline your flying with a call or access the airports website.

Cheers
