    I don’t want to “well actually” but I’m disabled and need to be pushed in my chair through the airport and to + down the gate corridor. Every time I arrive at the plane door, someone greets me from the plane and asks “do you need help (boarding the plane)”. Luckily I can hobble with my cane for short distances, so I don’t need to be carried like I’m going to the bedroom in a romcom, but they do have staff that can aid with that…

    Now I’m imagining a plane full of disabled people all being carried. Boarding time, 11a, departure, 3p. 😋

      Your imagination isn’t accounting for all the insanity that people loading themselves do. Loading might be faster for the carried folks.

      That’s fair. Now I wonder how liability works with that since they could hurt themselves and you in the process. And surely they are people that just cannot be lifted by one person.
