,,, one of my hips has osteo arthritis. When I stand up it’s agony, when I get into my car, it’s the same but once I get rolling it’s easy enough to keep walking - not comfortable but I get to where I’m going. Some airports have the moving walkways that you stand on - the flat escalator. They’re a great help as you can hold the moving handrail as you’re transported. Now I know about the jetway scam I won’t be using wheelchairs even if they’re easily available.

I’ve wondered this. +20 people lined up in wheel chairs to preboard
To: Red Badger
,,, yeah, I would but I’d hate to have an audience being da haters. Air travel keeps changing but not for better at the ground side.

I saw this in the Miami airport a few years ago. People would get up out of their wheelchair and go back and sit down. Most were of a certain demographic.

moving walkways Love those things ... stand right, walk left. They almost double my usual brisk pace.

Paid extra to board early on my last flight on Southwest. Disability of the two seated next to me appeared to be deafness. Got more than one carry on? You get to board last so everyone else gets at least one overhead bin!

I am a private pilot and worked intimately with the airline industry and I avoid flying commercial at all possible.
