Before I got dumped at the baggage carousel, my wheelchair assist woman originally planned to leave me OUTSIDE Melbourne airport in the freezing cold whilst my husband caught the long term car park shuttle and drove back to pick me. I asked her if she could leave me inside and she refused.
I travelled to Thailand on crutches once before and the staff were excellent in both Bangkok and Melbourne. I even did a spot of duty free shopping so it must depend on which side of the bed the W/assist person gets out of.
I have wondered since if the meeter and greeter is an airport employee as apposed to a Jetstar one. Even so it's a very poor way to treat a person. I hope she's on duty when we arrive back in Melbourne in October... eyes will be peeled!!
