| Disabled Help & Advice |
| |
First and foremost it is always advised to contact your airline to check the exact facilities and help they offer to disabled travellers at Sheffield Airport. Also, always check that the cost of any special assistance is included in your airline ticket.
Pre-book, should you have difficulty walking long distances, a special assistance vehicle to take you to your boarding gate and through to the departure lounge as these can sometimes be far away.
Wheelchairs are normally sent for boarding the plane at check-in and passengers are given access to one owned by the airline. However if you'd prefer to stay in your own chair do ask.
Whilst most of the Robin Hood Airport disabled facilities are on the ground floor, the restaurant services are located on the first floor. These are fully accessible by a lift.
Disabled toilets are located on the ground and first floors of the airport.
