Travelled through Edinburgh airport numerous times...

Travelled through Edinburgh airport numerous times, but had to review this experience as it was definitely 5 star treatment. Travelling with sever sciatica and a broken foot with one crutch I had my hand luggage organised to manage carrying myself. Going through security the staff were great. Carrying the trays and bags for me, making sure I got my crutch back. Although I would have managed and struggled along myself, it was nice how they were instantly using their initiative to help passengers out. Then hobbling to gate 21 I just missed my flight. After a few tears explaining I was heading to my younger cousins funeral, the gentleman went out of his way to book me on the next flight for free. More tears appeared due to the kindness and sympathy. Finally went and sat in disabled lounge as they had soft seats for my sciatica, the lady in there was great, really friendly. After explaining what happened when handing over my tickets, she then went to check what the next gate might be and stated she d let me know when it was open and offered to wheel me there in a wheelchair. Could not compliment the staff in the airport more. However, it would have been cheaper to pay for a new flight, than buy some snacks in WHSmiths!
