[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP - I am saying this because I have seen this at IAD. A person who can walk from the parking lot to check-in counter, stand in line to get checked in and for their boarding pass, then turn around and request a wheelchair to get to the gate? When another person who might be really in need of one have to wait? I am not saying stop the service, but if you really aren't in need of a wheelchair then pay a fee to use it. I believe the people who push the wheelchairs are volunteers? I might be wrong.[/quote] For some people yes, that would be the limit of their stamina. [/quote] +1 You might have seen me at one time. Walked from the parking garage with my mother to check in. You would have seen me walk to the check in counter as an able bodied person, yup. What you wouldn't have seen is that I was just discharged from the hospital while visiting my mother, was trying to get home, and that walk to the counter took everything I had. You wouldn't have seen the severe vertigo that was so bad that actually thought I was having a stroke and kept me overnight. So yeah, I asked for assistance, and they even let my mom in with a pass to accompany to me to the gate. But yeah, I walked to check in. [/quote]
