US $1000-1500 10 Acres Transaction LevelWhen I needed to use the wheelchair service at Manchester, Heathrow and Phoenix Sky Harbor airports, I was unclear about tipping. The service was excellent in all three airports and I wanted to appropriately show my appreciation. Can you clarify expectations for me? There are numerous opinions on this travel etiquette question. , “the standard for being helped in a wheelchair is $10 but could be as much as $20” if the attendant helps with luggage or an airline issue. and “The Itty Bitty Guide to Tipping” by Stacie Krajchir and Carrie Rosten (Chronicle Books, 2004) to arrive at $2 to $3 per person for a wheelchair pusher. You could also make the argument that all this tipping equates to a disability tax. Why should you have to pay more to get on and off a plane because you are wheelchair bound?

The airport should provide wheelchair assistance and electric cart rides to passengers who don’t have a choice, gratis. But that is not standard, and in matters of etiquette, you must give a nod to accepted practice. A 20 percent tip is an arbitrary but standard service tip in restaurants because it is. What I think is a good rule of thumb is a sliding scale of airport wheelchair service. A push between the gate and the airplane should not carry an expectation of a tip. For a longer trip, from the passenger drop-off to the gate, for example, $5 seems a reasonable amount. And if the wheelchair attendant is also handling luggage, an additional standard per bag rate of $1 or $2, as with bellhops, applies. As with all tipping, you can add or subtract from those amounts depending on the friendliness and attentiveness of the person. These are American guidelines, of course. Other countries have their own standards and it’s perfectly acceptable to ask an airport employee what the average tip is for a given service.

With the exchange rate as it is, converting the above numbers to British pounds would be very generous. I called the Heathrow Help Bus (44-20-8745-6261) that shuttles wheelchaired passengers between terminals and the operator said a “couple of pounds” was a fair amount for a wheelchair attendant taking a passenger from the bus to the gate. – DAVID G.
