The last time I flew was over 40 yrs. ago. I am now a bit disabled and they went over the top! They made sure I was connected to where I was going and when we arrived.

Some signage at point to embark would be most helpful.Bus got quite cold before heat was put on.Driver did make up time during the trip to arrive as scheduled.Also an additional step would help passengers get on the coach as the step up is quite steep
