Read the article! The family paid Alaska and Huntliegh to have someone take her from one flight to another.

After her flight from Hawaii landed in Portland in June 2017, the family says they hired a contractor to make sure Kekona arrived safely to her connecting flight.

Alaska Airlines said an investigation is continuing, but 'it appears that Ms Kekona declined ongoing assistance in the terminal and decided to proceed on her own to her connecting flight.'

The airline also noted her reservation did not note any 'cognitive, visual or auditory impairments.'

Alaska Airlines also told ABC News that Kekona had the right to decline wheelchair services.
