special assistance
Tailored support services
Special assistance refers to extra help provided to people who need it, particularly in travel contexts.
Airlines and airports offer special assistance to passengers with disabilities, elderly travelers, or those with medical conditions—wheelchair service, boarding help, or escorts through terminals.
The phrase appears in other institutional settings where accommodation beyond standard service is available: Please contact us if you require special assistance.
