Creator's Key Takeaways
It really stinks to have to be rebooked. You work so hard to ensure that you have the right flights, bookings, seats that you think will work perfectly for your trip and then it's just turned all upside down.
Our recommendation to you, if you are an older traveler, don't be afraid to ask for and accept airport assistance. The European airports can be large and generally do not have a great deal of mobility assistance.
