Do you think they'll give me a problem because I'm 49 years young? I fear they'll look at me, because you are unable to tell visually if you look at me, and think are you kidding me? You need a wheel chair?
Does anybody know if I will need any additional documentation going through security with having the titanium knee? Will I set off any alarms?
Thanks everyone!
No, airlines do not ask for documentation that you need a wheelchair. Simply call their 800 number a day or two ahead of your flight and request a wheelchair. They are more than happy to assist you. They'll note it in your profile and have one available for you when you check-in for your initial flight, when you deplane for your connecting flight and when you deplane at your final destination.
Just so you know, if you have a Frequent Flyer account with the airline it is likely your "wheelchair" status will remain in your profile for future flights until you cancel it.
