Chair Flying in the USA has gotten much better in the last 12-13 years. I know, I see. Everyday, hundreds of disAbled people in chairs fly across the skies of the USA and actually enjoy it. Are there problems ? Yes, but that is the nature of traveling. Most problems are do it ignorance... on both sides. Those who fly on a regular basis due to employment know the routine. Be prepared, arrive early and pack properly. Those who still arrive at the airport 25 minutes before departure and expect their luggage and chair to be waiting for them when they arrive are in for a surprise. Washington D C airport is full of government employees flying out to all parts of the USA as part of their job. Many of them are wheelchair users. The business traveler is big too with many in chairs who must carry their laptops with them as they fly. It not all that bad. The good reports, far outweigh the nightmares. So get on the internet and book early for those best prices airline tickets and enjoy your flight ! W In a message dated 8/9/04 6:05:21 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
