I'm flying with the family LHR-MUC in Y later this month, and we've just got an email from BA explaining what services they have for kids.

There was a section about "Need Special Assistance?", and a photo of a sign with various impairments on.

Now, my mother in law is hearing impaired, she is profoundly deaf in one ear and uses a hearing aid for the other. She doesn't fly regularly, although has flown often in the past. She's with me, though, and although I'm not a road warrior, I make a handful of flights a year, I'm OK with how airports work, so she won't need special assistance getting round or that sort of thing.

Is it worth my while still letting the airline know that she's hearing impaired? I figure the crew might want that sort of info on the passenger manifest, if nothing else? Or will I be creating an unnecessary fuss if I do?
