Hi, I've booked flights on Air Norwegian Gatwick-Copenhagen. I asked for assistance as I'm disabled. They have refused it at Gatwick, though will give it on return. Has anyone else had this problem?

Welcome to the community @Tudor2122 I'm sorry to hear that this has happened! I'd also be interested in knowing whether they've given a reason for this.0

No, they don't communicate directly, only with standard emails. Phone is constantly engaged.

That sounds frustrating @Tudor2122
I've had a look on the Wilson James website (the provider of assistance at Gatwick Airport), on their contact page it says:Airport Assistance:
For queries regarding our passengers with restricted mobility (PRM) services at Gatwick Airport and Heathrow Airport, please contact your airline directly.
When are you due to fly out? Hopefully contacting Air Norwegian will lead to better results for you! Keep us up to date, and I hope you enjoy your trip when you do go

It's impossible to contact Air Norwegia. Their phones are backed up (waiting time hours) and they don't read emails, just send standard links. Believe me I've tried everything. Am Now trying to out them on various websites

@Tudor2122 had a complete nightmare with Gatwick and another airline last night. Aircraft arrived at 0230, we got off 0345! Everybody blames everyone else - oh, and they lost an expensive wheelchair cushion.0

I have been seeing the tweets from Frank Gardner the BBC security correspondent who was stuck on a plane coming back from Geneva and the NATO conference. Brexit and the pandemic caused a lot of problems for airlines and it seems that disabled travellers are bearing the brunt of this. Maybe if so many staff working for the airlines were not furloughed there would be people to help disabled travellers. The airlines/airports can do much better than this and should be embarrassed about providing such a poor service0
