Travellers With Disabilities

Pay phones and curbs are also provided for ease of use and there are lifts for accessing the first floor of the airport.

Your airline can provide you with a wheelchair if you need assistance to or from your flight. Service should be requested from the airline in advance, but if the need arises, you may also do so at the ticket counter when you check in.

Travel Tips

Travel as light as possible. Remember many airlines have decreased the weight/size of the hand luggage you can take on board – just be mindful of the rules relating to what can actually be taken as hand luggage.

  • Put your name clearly on the outside and inside of your bags. Remove extraneous tags and labels.
  • Pack valuables in your carry-on bags.
  • Be wise at check-in – make sure your bag is tagged with the correct destination label and ensure you keep your barcode sticker that normally gets tagged to your boarding pass. This is a unique number and matches you to your bag.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
