Hi Sue,
I came back from
Icmeler on crutches one year, as soon as checked in they got me a wheelchair, boarded plane first, was taken there by a little forklift truck type thing!!
then had 3 seats to myself so could put my feet up,when we landed at birmingham i was last off the plane and wheeled through to the luggage collections so didnt have to struggle with walking/stairs or escalators any end. The crutches came on the plane with and were put underneath the seats.
Hope this helps and you have a very happy holiday!!
Nikki
