Help for my mum flying to Australia (free return flight to UK)

[David Taylor]

Hello

I hope someone can help.
For the last 7 years my mother has been flying from the UK to Perth and spending 3 months visiting her friend. He has spent 3 months each year coming over to the UK.

We want to organise a trip for mum to fly out to Perth again (feb 2012).

Mum has had Alzheimer’s for the last 5 or so years and is now at the stage where whilst she is otherwise very healthy and alert we feel it would be best if someone (preferably female) accompanied her on the flight. She is very cheerful and easy; most people wouldn’t realise she has a problem. She needs no medical assistance just company to provide her with reassurance so she doesn’t get disorientated. We need someone to make sure she does the transfer in Dubai properly and picks up her bags at the end of the flight. She would be dropped off and picked up at either end.

We need someone to fly with mum from the UK (London or Manchester) to Perth at sometime over the next month (we can be fairly flexible) and then come back to UK 3 months later. We will pay for that person’s flight.

Our hope is that there is someone in the UK who would like to go back to Perth for 3 months to see friends or family and having the flight paid for (circa Aus$1,300) would be a real help.

I appreciate this is an unusual request and you might not feel you can help. However I would really appreciate if you could consider it for a few minutes and make any suggestions.

Kind regards

David

Good luck David, I have hard that airlines such as Singapore and Dubai are very good with lone older aged travels and will look after them like an unacommpanied child almost, making sure they get transfers/luggage etc.,

thank you Ali. we have used these airline services in the past and they are fine but we need more help than they usually provide. Mum is very polite and will not ask for help if she has to make a fuss. If someone friendly is beside her she will ask.
