Short answer
Airline assistance complaint enquiries should identify the booking, assistance requested, disability or mobility needs disclosed, airport and airline events, complaint replies, losses and escalation stage. Legal4U cannot decide whether compensation is payable or whether a regulator will uphold a complaint.
