Poster: A snowHead
|
Special assistance booked for arrival at gatwick for our snowhead friend @skeksis after he bust his ACL. Travelling back alone landing in half an hour. Does anyone know if the special assistance bods will help him to the Uber collection point, or does it only go as far as the arrival hall? Wondering if I should book a normal taxi for him (and if he will have to hop all the way to it on crutches?)

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Arrivals hall in our experience.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Forgot to say I tried the airline phone helpline but it shut at 8pm and I can't find a number for Gatwick that will put me through to a human - if anyone can help on that front that would also be fab! Their website is not super helpful.

From the LGW Website....
''If you have asked your airline in advance to be assisted to your onward transport, whether this be to a car park, onward bus, train station or awaiting meet and greet then you may be asked to take a seat to wait for another special assistance staff member to provide this assistance.''
Hope this helps

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

My understanding is that they will take you outside to a designated (designated for airport assistance) taxi pick-up point. Don't know specifically about Uber pick-up place.

The special assistance people at Gatwick took my mum down to the drop off lane, so that my Dad could bring round the car from the long stay carpack. He then waited with Mum while Dad fetch the car. This was after coming back from SFaB 2 yrs ago.

@nabus, Hope it worked for your friend. In my experience (of quite a few airports though not of Gatwick) Special Assistance will take you to whatever point necessary for you to meet your onward travel arrangements, be it to taxi, train, coach or pick up point for a car collecting you.
Please let us know how it worked out.
