I’m travelling together with a patient and an 80-kg wheelchair. How can I get help at the airport, during the flight and also during my stay at the hotel and therapy?
During the check-in the patient is given a wheelchair by the airline company and will go through the passport control with the accompanying person. A specialized vehicle takes them to the plane where they are taken to their seats. If the patient cannot walk, they are carried to the seat. All this is done before other passengers are taken on board. The same procedure is applied upon arrival. The patient leaves the plane before other passengers and then they are taken by a specialized vehicle to passport control, escorted to take their luggage and are taken to the transfer vehicle waiting for them. In other words, the patient is constantly looked after by someone from the very beginning of their journey until they reach their destination. In case of long lines at the passport control and flight transfers, the patient and the accompanying person will be taken through without waiting.
Hotels' staff is usually attentive to tourists' needs but they will be happy to help you for a small tip. We have trained personnel at the dolphin therapy centre and during the therapy sessions who take care of the patient's transfer.
