On the other hand this is a typical Indian 'cadge'... If the ol' folks can afford to travel on EK from YYZ to AMD they could probably spend a night in a hotel in DXB to give themselves a break... but no, some peckerwood whiner wants special treatment fer his ol' folks, 'cause... well why exactly?
Everybody knows the Indians use 'wheelchair' needs in order to receive special attention. 'specially at EK. 170 able bodied Indians board in BOM for a 4:45 flight to DXB and at top of descent the Purser requests 17 wheelchairs... a sudden onset of that crippling Indian phenomenon "Attention Seeking Behaviour" disorder... a nice push through OMDB hallways instead of walking like the rest of the folks. Pathetic.
If the seniors in question 're that indisposed due to age or infirmity, why would any sane person subject them to the rigours of long haul flying in the first place? If you really care, send them by by another method. Don't be so disengenuous and quit the solicitation for sympathy.
In addition, all carriers - IATA especially - cater superbly for wheelchair bound passengers - (genuine and the fakers) - this post is pathetic and don't belong here on this site.
