Hi, everyone. In the past, I've managed to navigate airports on my own a couple of times, but I've not flown outside the UK since 2018. I was diagnosed with MS during the pandemic and began socialising far less than I used to and done it closer to home. I am now itching to travel abroad on my own again, but I'm highly anxious about a process I've long forgotten. I have no clue if airports are more difficult than they used to be or whether they make things easier. Having MS has increased my issues with anxiety, and the cognitive issues from MS make me scared I'll misplace or forget something important (or say something wrong). This is the first time I'd be travelling as a Disabled Person, so I don't know what assistance or support I'd be entitled to from either the airport or the airline itself. Besides anxiety, I worry about the leg pain I can experience if I'm having a flare-up (sometimes brought on with stress). The last thing I want is to have pain at a time I'm expected to queue for ages. I am also naïve to knowing the best times to book flights for best prices, the best times to upgrade seating for best prices, the best places to sit on a plane if disabled, and the things I could ask for that could assist disability. I was thinking of trying Business Class seating as a one-off treat to celebrate my courage to travel again. I read that British Airways offer a home collection for baggage called 'AirPortr' where your cases are 'checked in' from your home address up to 24 hours before your flight and labelled up and loaded on to your correct flight so you can travel to the airport without the added burden of a heavy case to carry and check in on arrival. Anyone tried this home collection service and had a positive experience? Please chime in with your long-haul travel experiences with MS. I would love to get this right so that I am not put off travelling again afterwards. Also let me know your favourite things to pack to help with MS symptoms, esp. when visiting sub-tropical or warmer climates (e.g. over-the-counter things or aids). P.S. I am veering towards British Airways as they are one of the few airlines that fly direct to my chosen destination. I don't want the added hassle of landing and rushing for gates or long transfer waits.
