Sunflower lanyard, getting off the plane

MillyMoo · 1 Jun 19, 01:52 PM

Hello! We are hoping to get a sunflower lanyard when we fly due to my youngest having asd and spd. I know this will mean that we can board the plane first if we choose, but does it also mean we can leave first too? I'm asking because I've booked seats at the back of the plane and in another thread it says about being the last off. I don't think she would cope very well with this, so if we aren't able to leave before alot of people then I can move our seats!
Thank You! 😊

It doesn't give you first chance to leave the plane as they have to let the plane empty as it fills if that makes sense so those nearest the area where the plane filled will be the first off (usually first or premium). Also if you have any assistance booked - such as a wheelchair - they request you wait to be the last off the plane.

Wait til last. My asd son had a sensory meltdown.. its tight in those corridors and an extra 10mins makes no difference..

Great, thank you! I wasn't expecting the answer to be they let you off first because logistically it doesn't work - but it's good to have that confirmed so thank you!

If you sit in the bubble then you get off first. There is an assistance lane for wheelchairs (@ passport control) and we use this, although don�t be surprised if the staff shout at you that the line is for assistance only. I politely told them my son has asd and they said ok.

Currently MCO is intermittently using the wheelchair lane so sometimes they don't have it open. This is what I've read on here mind so not first hand experience on this but something to take into account
