An airport once named the worst in the country for disability access has transformed its rating by adopting a "wish list" for assisted travellers.

London Luton Airport (LLA) now fulfils more than 700  pre-booked requests for assistance, external  each day - and a new assisted travel lounge is due to open later this month.

It has also introduced  self-propelled wheelchairs , accessibility days - and appointed a firm to operate its passenger assistance.

This is such an important point you have raised. Many airports still overlook the small details that can make a huge difference for disabled travellers things like clearer signage more resting spaces and staff who are actually trained to assist. I think accessibility should be treated as a basic need not an extra feature.

London Luton Airport's turnaround from accessibility nightmare to wish-list wonder is a game-changer for disabled travelers, fulfilling over 700 daily requests with self-propelled wheelchairs and a new lounge. As a wheelchair user, I'd say it's finally making flights feel inclusive rather than exhausting. Pair it with compareyourparkingdeals.co.uk/ smooth Luton parking options—like the accessible Bay Park and Ride shuttle praised in reviews—and your trip starts stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone needing support; it's proof positive change is possible.

This is such an important topic — accessibility in airports often gets overlooked, but it makes a huge difference for travelers with disabilities. Having features like clearer signage, wider pathways, and better assistance services would really improve the overall experience. I’ve seen how much of a difference reliable arrangements can make, whether it’s airport support or even planning smooth rides with accessible options bostonlogancarservice.com/
, since peace of mind during travel is just as valuable as comfort.

Do you think airports should prioritize physical infrastructure upgrades first, like ramps and seating, or focus more on improving staff training and assistance services?
