Hi Faymoore dave,
agree we would really struggle without this service, but we have also been let down by it too, we have landed in the UK and no assistance turned up, the airstewards were left to go and fetch her a wheelchair for her.
There is normally 5 in our party including our 2 children so its usual to let us all stay together.
On another note dave my mom takes NAC 600 recommended in turkey for her COPD its like a vitamin it helps build up your immune system and breaks down muccus...she recommends it.
Keith, I'm sure like many things in life unfortunately there is always someone that will abuse the system.
