  1. Dear ma’am ,
    Recently have had bad experience with the wheelchair service.
    My sisters arrived from India and later they went from Glasgow to America.
    They had business class and first class tickets .
    One was not taken till after half hour .. Wait..Thus couldn’t use the lounge.
    Their service had a don’t care attitude and I feel sorry for passengers esp when
    They are here on vacation… And spoke perfect English..
    On arrival the lifts hardly work .. They keep on blaming the management..
    Kindly look into this service.
    Indebted to you .
    Our motto should be service with a smile..
    Regards ,
    Pamela
