Airlines
Airlines offer priority boarding, accessible seating and wheelchair provision for disabled customers. The service varies, so check with the particular airline before booking. It is always worth asking how they are willing to assist if you have particular needs, and all airports are covered by Disability Access legislation, so parking, accessing and getting around them should not be a problem.
