Many thanks for that information. I have been going to Pollensa my husband for the last six years but last year we had to cancel our holiday because he a had a severe stroke. Now 12 months on and we are planning to go again in 2012 but now we will not be able to hire a car and I would really appreciate any information that anyone could give me reagarding airport help for disabled and transfers. He can walk very very slowly with the aid of a stick but to go any distance I have to push him in the wheelchair.

Palma airport provides an excellent assistance service. The important thing is to book FULL WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANCE with your airline when you book your flights. On arrival at UK and Palma airport there are helpline areas with a freephone direct link to the fluorescent jacketed staff - in Palma its called ´Moviemento Sin Fronteras´ or similar. You will be met at this meeting point and assisted/guided through the check in process and taken through to the boarding gate or on arrival at Palma airport you will be collected off the aircraft (the important thing is not to attempt to move and struggle alone - stay in your seat until assistance arrives), taken by wheelchair/electric car to the baggage reclaim where the helper will assist you with your cases and wheel your husband out to your taxi driver. Toni Riutort provides a first class service and I have been using him for all my clients who require private taxis for many years and he does have a taxi specially adapted to take a wheelchair if you prefer.
I presume you will be travelling with your own wheelchair? It is important that the airline, hotel and taxi driver know this. Enjoy your holiday and if you need any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me via my webpage or private message.
