Do you have a suggestion for someone traveling solo who cannot stand in a taxi line? I do have wheelchair assistance from the plane, to luggage, and to the curb. I can't imagine a wheelchair pusher would push me through a taxi line. I've used reserved services in other European locations but haven't found anything for Barcelona that comes highly recommended, or even sort of recommended. Thanks.
Ask them to call a specific taxi for disabled. There are some taxis for disabled people. Wheelchairs (or trolleys or whatever) must entry using taxi back door. They are locked inside and they have a specific safety belt too.
No checked luggage, just a carry-on backpack each (we are minimalists when it comes to packing!) and we have little choice for getting back to Canada (flight is only every 2nd day), so 9:25 am it is. We were given 645am for walking off unassisted, and am wondering if taxis will be available at the port this early, or if we will have to call for one.
thank you very much - I have noted both of the numbers and websites. My husband and I speak Spanish so I don't mind calling if there are no taxis...just trying not to stress, but we have no liquids in our carry ons, and our backpacks weigh less than 10kg each and will check in online tomorrow for Thursday.
