Airport assistance request script (simple, non-medical)
A one-minute request that names the help you need, where you need it, and the minimal details required.
Summary
- What this is: A copy-paste script to request airport assistance early and reduce walking/standing load.
- Who it’s for: Travelers whose symptoms worsen with long walks, standing, stairs, or time pressure.
- Output: One message you can send to airline assistance / airport support, plus a companion brief.
- Method: Name the function you need (help) rather than the diagnosis (label).
- Decision thresholds: If standing or walking tolerance is uncertain, request assistance by default.
- Safety boundary: Planning support only; clinical questions belong with your clinician.
Decision thresholds
| Trigger | Action |
|---|---|
| If your standing tolerance is < 10–15 minutes reliably | Do request assistance and plan seated waits at every choke point (check-in, security, gate). |
| If you have > 1 transfer or large airports | Do choose fewer transfers or request assistance for transfers. Transfers compound fatigue and time pressure. |
| If you feel ‘rushed’ triggers symptom spikes | Do arrive earlier and treat time as a buffer (not an optimization target). |
| If you are in a flare on travel day | Do switch to minimum plan: assistance + simplest route + earliest boarding. |
