How do I get this sort of assistance when travelling?

Ds is autistic and we’re flying in the summer. We’ve never travelled with his needs and diagnosis being so apparent.

Ds will have his sunflower lanyard on but I’ve no idea what they achieves these days as everyone sees it as mask exempt.

He will really struggle to queue for a really long time but a fairly short, moving queue is fine. Security will really make him anxious. And he really wants to get on the plane first so people don’t look at him - he might freeze on the steps otherwise.

What do I do?

I’m going to get fast track security if I can.

Do I ask someone? Phone someone first? He won’t want an ‘escort’ through the airport or anything - just those few things. Help!

Do make sure that your return journey is assisted as well.
I had wonderful help flying to Spain when I was on crutches, but nothing had been arranged for the return journey.

There are various videos on YouTube about Bristol airport which might be helpful for him to watch. Such as this one.
