Airports

All Portuguese airports have specially adapted toilet facilities and transfers for people with special requirements. When required, passengers can also access MyWay, a personalised assistance service for passengers with reduced mobility. This service includes mechanised mobility facilitators, escalators and travelators, lifts, appropriate signage and guidance, as well as staff trained for this purpose, guaranteeing full assistance. 

Passengers must request the MyWay service with their airline or travel agent when booking their ticket or at least 48 hours before departure. This information will be conveyed by the airline to the airport involved to ensure that they receive assistance. 

Private vehicles with a disability sticker have parking available at all airport carparks. These parking bays, located close to the parking exits are clearly identified.

Passengers are authorised to use guide dogs in airports, including the departure terminals. However, passengers must contact their airline or travel agent to confirm if guide dogs are allowed on the flight.
