Malaga with disabled pax

[colinc57]

}looking for some advice ( currently in Malaga)

Due to caring responsibilities and health issues we are on our first holiday since pre covid !

Wife now has a condition which restricts how long she can stand/queue, albeit not outwardly visible until she faints ( registered disabled with Blue badge and Access card). Doesn’t like to ask for extra assistance.

Booked LHR-AGP-LHR in CE. (BA)

LHR flight was fine as she sat to the side when I checked in at CE desk , and quickly through security, lounge and gate.

Flight was delayed on tarmac and chaotic but guess lots to serve up in a short time, combined with one PAX hogging toilet throughout. Arrival in AGP ok but long walks as no working travalater.

Anyway.. looking for views on return from AGP
Can I bag drop and use mobile or preprinted boarding cards ?
If not, how early does CE desk open, can she just sit to the side / join me when I’m at front?
Is distance from security to lounge and gate particularly long?
Is it worth asking for assistance or in reality does that just complicate?

Just book assistance. There is no shame ( or cost ). You and OH get fast track security and taken direct to lounge etc. Also just go to front of que and it will be sorted. Inform BA ASAP and go to the assistance desk at airport.

I have travelled with many people on flights that require this service. Also if medication is needed or equipment it is supposed to be carried free in addition to normal baggage. ( Helps if you have stickers that say Medical ) Never had a problem even on FR ( and Air Asia ! )

[To dare is to do]

As a disabled traveller myself you are making such hard work for yourselves, please just book your wife assistance.there is really no need for your wife to be struggling or you as companion! Also there is no shame in asking for help a lot of people with new mobility problems feel like it’s giving in but it really isn’t. Ask for assistance and enjoy your trip.
