If Melbourne Airport knows someone is some or all of these things:
1. showing signs of agitation and stress (can be reason for wheel chair) - airline staff do not want a visibly upset person to deal with, if it can be avoided.
2. travelling to Heathrow, which is a huge airport and difficult to navigate, and where the person will automatically get the wheelchair treatment on their arrival (thus this also taken into account when Melbourne Airport offers the wheel chair treatment, viz the difficulty of navigating around a mega large airport for this person)
3. showing signs of deafness or blindness and find it beyond them to see/hear directives in what is a huge place
4. are senior citizens

then they will be considered as worthy of a wheel chair.
Many things are weighed up by the staff before this decision is reached.

Golden, I did not say that my friend is "permanently in a wheel chair". She is not. So, now you are making up stuff. I could say "you are catching at straws" but the phrase is not only inappropriate, you are misquoting the phrase "you are clutching at straws", but I am getting the impression, both compassion and accuracy are not your strong points for you.

My friend was very nervous about her lack of vision at Melbourne Airport and knew it would be even harder for her at Heathrow Airport. She was travelling on her own. She is not a young person. Many things about Taurisk you still know nothing about. Nor should you. (See above, many things are taken into account before the Wheelchair Option is offered.)

Just a well you are not in charge of wheelchairs coz you reckon a mum with a little baby crying should be given one!!! Babies cry, golden.

Whats a little baby crying got to do with it???
Your opinions differ to mine. Please feel free to be happy boarding a plane with sick passengers on board, I'm not- never will be.
