Advice needed urgently re med situation in Sing

[Quickstatus]

they have arranged flights home for us.

Fantastic, at least the ball is rolling in the TI office.

Not sure what happens in MEL but
In SYD, if the wheelchair is supplied by the airport, they refused to let us wheel Mrs QS with fractured tibia to the car. Only as far as the sliding glass doors.

Wheelchair assistance at SIN is organised via your airline - in this case QF but book ASAP as you are departing Sunday
The SIN T1 check in is directly adjacent to the T1 drop off - could MrDGMS walk about 100M?
The QF check in desk is at Row 8

Can confirm, wheelchair will not go outside in Melbourne @Quickstatus @DontGetMeStarted

Also if it is busy, they are often under pressure to get to the next pax (don't let them, all they need is ok from supervisor )

They got me to baggage carousel and said : ok, I need to go now.
I said ,sorry , can't walk fractured foot ( was 7am)

They wil/should take you through Express formalities between carousels 4&5 .
You must have nothing to declare and no more than 2 checked bags each ( hope you can enlarge pic can read the t&c's.)

Safe travels home

A couple of years ago we flew on Qantas from DEL to MEL. A lovely lady met us at the plane with a wheelchair for MrF and wheeled him all the way out to the bus stops where the hotel shuttle buses pick you up. She even phoned the Holiday Inn for us to let them know we were waiting for the shuttle.

I have experienced this as well when travelling with my father who needed wheelchair assistance at MEL. However also experienced the opposite on another occasion when they would not allow the wheelchair to go outside at all. Perhaps it is just luck of the draw with the particular staff member on the day.
