Calling on Your Airline Cavalry: The Preferred Method
First things first, for the most guaranteed and smooth ride, you'll want to enlist the help of your trusty steed - your airline. Call them up at least 48 hours before your flight (think of it like giving your chariot a good polish) and request their wheelchair assistance service. They'll have you all set to roll when you arrive.
Pro Tip: While you're on the phone, ask about any specific disability accommodations they offer. Knowledge is power, my friend!
The "Forgot to Call" Fumble: Don't Panic!
Hey, it happens to the best of us. If you haven't secured a wheelchair in advance, fret not! Head straight to your airline's ticketing counter upon arrival. They might have a spare chariot waiting (or they might knight you "Sir/Lady Resourceful" on the spot).
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
Bonus points for practicing your puppy dog eyes in case they need a little convincing.
Enter the SkySquad: Your DEN Knights in Shining Armor
Didn't bring your knight in shining armor (or a personal squire)? No worries! DEN offers a SkySquad service. These friendly folks can help you with luggage, navigating the airport, and getting through security. Just be sure to book their services at least 24 hours beforehand.
They can't directly reserve wheelchairs, but they might be able to help you coordinate with your airline upon arrival. Think of them as your enthusiastic airport cheerleaders!
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
