[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen many able bodied older adults requesting and using wheelchairs to get gates from check-in.  Mostly they seem to use this as a way to get through security and also not having to read or follow directions.  I think the airports and airlines should start charging a fee to use this unless they are really in need due to actual physical need.  What do you guys think?[/quote]

Regardless of whether it’s a genuine physical need or abusing the system, I don’t really understand why there isn’t an automatic cost for requiring these additional services. How is it any different from having to pay extra for a minor traveling solo or a larger person having to pay more for an extra seat?[/quote]

Yeah I have never understood why certain things are free and certain things aren’t. My wealthy friend gets free in-home care for her disabled child. But when my mom had terminal cancer we had to pay through the nose for in home care for her until she passed away. “Hospice” in her area was 3x a week for an hour. It’s illogical the preference that is shown to “disabilities” over other medical issues. [/quote]
