Hi Scott! I was a subscriber previously but am considering re-subscribing. I am physically disabled and require more room on flights, as well as accommodations (e.g. wheelchair to/from gates, help with luggage). My disability is a hidden disability so I look “normal” on the outside but have a lot of mobility issues; the skeptical looks from airline staff and passengers is another story. 🤗
My husband and I really want to travel more this year, but I actually haven’t traveled internationally when I’ve had this many physical limitations. On domestic flights, I usually have to pay more for premium economy or higher, since I am usually considered ineligible for a seat with more room as I don’t have an immobilized or fused leg, for example.
Do you have any advice as to international airlines that might be considered better for accommodating individuals with disabilities, even if that just means making the whole process of requesting assistance easier? Including when needing assistance in the arriving country. Or international airlines that typically have more leg room than others for economy seats (if that’s a thing)?
I have a Delta credit card and airline miles for domestic flights. My husband is considering opening a card for another airline. Do you have suggestions as to what might be the best option when considering international flights?
Thank you so much and apologies if that was all a total over share. Navigating travel while disabled is REALLY hard sometimes.
