We were greeted at the gate by a very efficient lady and told to park lane 1.
Went into the cafe and had a nice breakfast roll.
At the set time we boarded but no one seemed to know that we had a wheelchair bound person in our group.
I requested a crew member to leave space behind our car to allow offloading the wheelchair otherwise we would have struggled.
The rest of the trip was okay
