Airport Tipping
My mobility limitation has become so severe that, on my last trip, I
needed a wheelchair to take me from check-in to the departure gate at the airport. At the gate I tipped the wheelchair attendant. My traveling companion said that it was not necessary to tip her. I know that I did not have to tip her but I'm wondering what the convention is. |

It depends on the Country in which you live or to which you are travelling. I got a lot of assistance at LAX recently, arriving from LHR, and tipped the wheelchair attendant US $20. On the return journey at LHR I tipped GBP £5. I got the impression on both occasions that this was about the correct expected level of remuneration -- JohnT |

Airport Tipping
At ZRH I had the attendant walk away once and the other time she twice
refused any tip. "It's not necessary". ORD I tipped 10 USD for transporting me all the way to the Transportation Center, from the plane. Another time they delivered me to the wrong spot, and I had a problem directing him to the proper location (He didn't speak or read English(?) at a US airport). No tip. I observed some cases of 'no tipping' at ORD. PRG one time the attendant didn't wait for a tip, one other time 5 USD and he seemed embarrassed accepting it. |
