Ive book a flight with EasyJet, its an hours flight at most. I flew with them 4 yrs ago and was with my husband. For that flight I was taken right up to my seat and then did the transfer myself. Im now booking assistance for this flight and will be traveling on my own. I only have 2 options,

a. I need a wheelchair. I CANNOT walk up and down stairs or walk long distances but can move about the cabin unaided. I require assistance to and from the aircraft door.

b.I need a wheelchair. I CANNOT walk, stand or move about the cabin unaided and I need to be lifted into and out of my aircraft seat. I will be traveling with an adult companion who can look after my requirements.

Strictly speaking neither are true. I cant move about unaided but I can transfer to my seat. Im not travelling with a companion but dont think Im going to need much on an hours flight.

I have gone for option A. Is this the right one do you think?

thanks a lot.

Hi

It seems rather restricting, is it possible to talk to someone.....or is that too much to ask ?

I think I would have gone with the same option as you will not have anyone travelling with you, and hope that you can work it out when you get there. Is this the trip to London area that you were planning ?
