Re: Digest Number 1386, Flying

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Yes I have flown on about 12 flights with my 4-wheel walker. I request a

wheel chair at each stopover and upon getting to my destination. I close up

the walker, as much as it will close, and put it over my knees while they

push me to the next gate. Then when they call your flight, they usually let

you go in before the rest of the people board the flight. You can walk with

your walker right up to the door of the plane. They will take your walker

and put it in the baggage compartment and they have it back at the door of

the plane when you get to your destination. Everyone is very helpful and

I've never had any trouble with the walker at all. I usually take my fold-up

cane to go on the plane, but haven't used it, I just hold onto the backs of

chairs as I go down the aisle. Good luck on your trip. I will be going to

San Diego next month. Do you plan to go for the California Connection?
