Passengers needing assistance is an everyday affair at BUR. They know how to handle it. In fact, I'll contend that for this among various other reasons involving size and convenience, BUR should be your first choice in LA, if the choice is available.
Also, you'll never ever have to deal with icy weather at BUR.
Same thing holds for LGB (which is also a great choice if you're traveling to the LA area!)
