Or is there a spot for a wheel chair to sit where my leg could be resting up off the floor?

*Imagine that, I used to love to fly! Silly CRPS. How dare it make my life more complicated?* (as he tosses a ping pong ball against the wall and catches it a few times)
First class definitely has more leg room (and a much more comfortable seat). I have only flown first with my son (emergency surgery out of state & the airline decided since I paid hella $ for the tickets, we deserved an upgrade)

There's really not room for a wheelchair (as a matter of fact, those have to be gate checked and the airlines have what they call aisle chairs to transport from the gate to the seat). Maybe cold get a few smaller pillows in a carry on and use those ??? Your best bet may be to fly at an odd time and try to select a seat with no one next to it at the time of booking...maybe you could be able to put your leg up on the seat next to you. I have the same problem, with having my leg down...I can barely stand being in the car but I'm able to get my leg out further in a car at least.


I would fly to the grocery store if it was available to me...I love flying.
