It is not the choice of the disabled passenger to queue jump. That's the policy of the airport so please stop giving me dirty looks
It's also my first lhr flight. And I am bricking it that the service to transfer me is going to be inadequate and I'm not going to get to enjoy my first club world experience.
Unfortunately some people have a fixed (and usually very visual) idea of what "disability" is, and will pass judgement if a disabled passenger doesn't conform to it.
Their ignorance is their problem, not yours, I hope and believe the majority don't take this attitude. It never costs me a thought that a disabled passenger boards before me, and I'm sure many others feel the same.
I hope your transfer at LHR goes well.
