Assistance at the airport

Your airport experience may begin with parking, but there are lots of other ways we can support your travel experience, too.

Assisted travel

We’re here to provide as much or as little assistance as you may need, from getting to your terminal from the car park, to boarding your flight. If you require assistance, you'll need to arrange this with your airline (at least 48 hours before you travel). Your airline or travel agent will pass all of your information to the Assisted Travel Team, so that everything runs smoothly for you on the day.

If you’re travelling with a mobility aid, it will also need to be pre-booked with your airline. This just gives our staff an idea of its dimensions and weight, so that there are no delays when loading it onto the plane.

Security

If you haven’t travelled for a while or have reduced mobility, you may have a few questions about the Security process, but there’s no need to worry. Stuck on what you can and can’t take through? Our ultimate guide to security tells you everything you need to know.

Our friendly Security Officers can also provide a walking aid to assist you through the Archway Metal Detector, with seating also close by if you need to take a rest.

And if you need to carry liquid medication (this must be accompanied with a medical note or prescription) in your hand luggage, simply let the officer know at the x-ray load area. They can then screen it through special equipment.

Built around your every need, this experience is like no other, and gives you the most effortless start to your holiday.
