Coordinate, do not duplicate
Record the airline’s confirmed assistance and share it with the meet-and-assist team. The escort can coordinate around it but does not replace it.
Allow extra time for equipment, medication, feeding and toilet stops.
Keep the handover simple
Use one lead passenger, one reachable mobile number and the same flight details for the group.
Keep travel documents and essential supplies with the responsible adult rather than in checked baggage.
