To be fair it looks a bit like a cherry picker but the ambi lift and operators at Corfu are really helpful, actually better than our side. You just wait on the aircraft with the crew until they arrive at the opposite side to the steps. Flat access off, they drive you to arrivals and they push or help you up the walkway.
Make sure you book assistance with the airline (in advance) who pass your details on to the airport at home and in Corfu. You may get dedicated assistance through passport control etc....it depends on airport and your individual requirements.
( If you hire wheels in Corfu you will be taken care of throughout the airport process as hubby will have a helper who will collect you in a manual chair and save you pushing).
Prepare yourself for sarky comments about preferential treatment....😤
On your return you go to a designated departure gate (no 6) and they come and get you (usually first)
and the process is reversed. Seems there aren't as many restrictions in Corfu and occasionally it has seemed a bit more chaotic but we have done the journey about a dozen times and it works, Greek style!
Depending on the age of your children you will be kept together but as ours are older they just board the usual way and I go with R.
Pool lifts are a step too far I'm afraid and I'm not aware of any beach style entry pools. R's managed to get in and out by being lifted in and out by sons in law but not very dignified!....we have relied on the beach rather than pools.
Friends ask us why we go back to the same place. From a carer's point of view it takes the stress out of travelling, knowing we can manage! Makes a huge difference to me! 😃
Hope you have a good time whenever you go.
