Travel Tips and Hints - Babysitting Options Overseas
What Hints Do You Have To Make It Easier For Me To Travel With Elderly People?
What should we do to make sure that both the oldies and the rest of us will all enjoy our vacation
Notify Airlines Early. We recommend that you notify airlines in advance there are elderly people in the traveling party. Also use this opportunity to request any special additional support such as transport to the gate, wheelchairs, etc. You can generally take walking frames, etc up to the gate -ask if this is possible with the airline with whom you've booked
Aisle Seats. Where possible book an aisle seat for elderly passengers. This offers easier access to and from the seat. And also makes it simpler if the person needs to leave the seat regularly, particularly on longer flights. It's also a good idea to plan for stopovers if possible
Special Dietary Needs. Notify the airline or tour company in advance of any special dietary needs. Most companies will do their best to accommodate such requests
Accommodation Needs
.When booking accommodation, you'll need to determine whether there are lifts/elevators available for guests. If not, then see if it's possible to book ground level accommodation. If there are special needs, such as wheelchairs, then make sure that the hotel is fully aware of this need before arrival
]]>Pre-Booking Strenuous Activities. We advise against pre-booking any activities that are too strenuous and that will involve the elderlytraveler. This offers a level of protection just in case the traveler doesn't handle any long haul sectors too well. It may be that the recovery time may be longer than for a younger person. You can then book your activity once everything is back to normal.
