What should passengers do if they require special assistance at the airport?

Passengers requiring special assistance at the airport should arrive early and notify airline staff to ensure that their needs are addressed in a timely manner. By informing the staff upon arrival, passengers can receive the necessary support, such as wheelchair assistance or help navigating the airport, well before their flight. Early communication allows staff to make appropriate arrangements, reducing the risk of delays or complications.

Other options may not be as effective. Calling customer service after booking may not provide sufficient time for preparation, especially if assistance is needed on the same day of travel. Relying on another passenger for help may not guarantee adequate support and can lead to safety or logistical concerns. Waiting until boarding could result in undue stress, as arrangements may not be feasible at that point, potentially causing missed flights or misunderstandings about the required assistance. Therefore, early notification to airline staff is the most proactive and effective approach for passengers needing special assistance.
