Have you seen the news lately? the flights are over booked, and passengers are stranded everywhere! There are half the employees there used to be and they are all doing customer service. Its awful! There are not enough employees to fly the planes now, let alone shuffle us wheel chair folks. The last time I flew I found myself hoofing it, because there was no attendant around, and the shuttle was crammed full of teenagers going on a ski trip. I told the attendant on the shuttle that I was handicapped and needed to ride or be pushed. He said he would be back for me after dropping off the teens. (he couldnt ask them to move?) and I never saw him again. I walked and barely made my connection.

It helps if you bring your own wc, and a friend to push you. Past that, you may wish to have a rollator, or something to hold steady to while you hoof your way to your gate.

They made millions in profits this year, and yet cannot allow you a blanket without charge. They charge you for your checked luggage, they charge for snacks, and they over book each flight, because they have cut the number of flights leaving by almost half. its a scary time to fly.
