The issue we have is that Mrs AQ unfortunately now has to walk with sticks and isn't very quick. This makes me wonder if rather than a b2b would you consider an am LON (LHR or LGW aren't a problem) departure and a pm return or a nightstop?
Obviously we wouldn't want to miss the first eu leg if the outbound to Italy was delayed.

I've considered a wheelchair to speed things up but to be honest I think that would actually slow us down!

Cheers

have a look at the b2b thread and especially the wiki for some specific airport advice. MXP is decent for a b2b
