“Why Heathrow’s CEO Believes TikTok Is To Blame For Passenger Assistance Troubles”
Another TikTok issue in the news. This one is particularly frustrating. People are abusing a system for wheelchair support at the airport based upon a TikTok “hack”. From the article: “Mr. Holland-Kaye blamed the surge in demand on a TikTok hack where a non-disabled man pretended to be injured to request a wheelchair and skip the queues. John told LBC, “For passengers requiring wheelchair support, we have more demand than we had before the pandemic. Why is that happening? Some of this is because people are using the wheelchair support to try to get fast-track through the airport. That is absolutely the wrong thing to be doing.” He continued, “If you go on TikTok, you’ll see that that is one of the travel hacks that people are recommending. Please don’t do that.”
