I’d have told her where to go but the gentleman was far more professional and agreed to help her (despite looking baffled). They both walked off with the shopping on the wheelchair.
Now, she may have injured her arms pouring her champagne that I wasn’t aware of but it felt like a DYKWIA moment. Bizarre.
Bear in mind you can’t see every condition from the outside. of that person has a pain condition, it’s entirely plausible that they could make it airside unaided with fast track but need help later on. I had a tricky situation, arriving in CPH where I was in extreme pain but too cramped to sit any longer . Speciai assistance insisted I put my carryons on the wheelchair and walked me slowly to arrivals
(And looking young is irrelevant btw
