the questions that have
worried us:

1. Af something happens to _ 7

his medication can he get the
same thing in England? °°.

2. He can afford to fly first

waste of money. Can you tell.

4. Is there anything we
should do for him before he
goes?

Answer: He should see his

‘doctor and get from him a

detailed medical record
including the generic names
of all medications. He
should have no problem
getting replacements in
England but to save
problems, make sure he has
sufficient with him for the
entire trip plus some left
over. Be sure he carries this
in his hand baggage at all
times — never in checked
bags. You might find that a
shoulder satchel would make
a good going-away pift.
Make it fairly light with a
gripper on the strap so that it
Clings to his shoulder
without slipping.

As for first class —
definitely! The wider seats
and extra leg room will be
much more comfortable.
Make sure he books an
airline that features recliner
chairs with leg rests — what

comfort! Service i is better i in

first class and it’s easier to
pick and choose foods that
he likes or can tolerate. If-his
diet is-restricted, inform. the

airline in advance.
There are fewer
passengers per washroom in

first. The cabin crew isn’t so
rushed and will gladly
provide a strong arm to help
a frail passenger to the
facilities. Here again, notify

them in advance and check

with then! again just before
flight time. Also, they can
issue you a pass to ac-
company your father into

the departure lounge.
Check on his
arrangements at London

airport. Will he be met? If
not, what? Here again, you
can ask
assistance.
It is wise for frail travellers
to carry extra 1.D. just in
case they faint or become
bewildered. Another fine
going-away gift is a number
of personal cards with name
and address etc. ['d slip one
of these into the pocket of
