| Help Points |

When booking your flight do advise your airline of any disability you suffer from. It is also advised to check that all help and assistance required at the airport is included in the price of your ticket.
If for example you have difficulty walking it might be worth pre-booking a special assistance vehicle that will take you from check-in to the boarding gate.
Or perhaps you require a wheelchair for your time spent at the airport.
Normally a passenger's own wheelchair will be swapped for one of the airline's at check-in. If however you want to stay in your own wheelchair until you board the plane contact the airline at time of booking.
Disabled travellers at East Midlands Airport will find lowered telephone units in the Departures Lounge West (opposite gate 9). All the phones have a volume adjusting facility.
The airport provides a first aid room that's available by travellers who require privacy for medically related treatments. For access speak to the Information Desk.
Hearing and guide dogs are the only dogs permitted in the airport terminal building.
