This next trip will only be my second time flying and the first time flying with someone who needs a wheelchair so I'm a newbie with this and any advice is very welcome! My mom has RA and back problems so she can only walk short distances and stand for short periods of time. We have a regular wheelchair for her at home but are going to rent an ECV in Florida. We fly out of one of the D.C. airports, usually Dulles, and I know there is no way she could do all of that walking to get from the drop-off spot to the airport terminal. I can bring along her wheelchair to use for this but hate to drag it along just to use in the airports. Are there any accomodations in the airports or with the airlines for situations like this? Or would we be better off just bringing her chair along? Another possibility would be to rent the ECV before we left home and just use it. HELP!! I just don't know what is best or even possible!
