Calling in the Cavalry (or Rather, the Wheelchair Crew)
There are two main ways to snag a wheelchair at IND, both faster than a herd of turtles on a sugar rush.
- Buddy Up with Your Airline: This is your best bet. Most airlines offer complimentary wheelchair assistance. Just give them a jingle before your flight and they'll whisk a chariot (or, you know, a wheelchair) your way.
- Dial-a-Wheelchair: If you're flying solo (or don't want to bother your airline), you can contact G2 Secure Staff directly at 317-248-8232. They'll be your knight in shining armor...well, maybe a knight in a comfy wheelchair.
Pro-Tip: Don't wait until you're knee-deep in the security line to request a wheelchair. A little advanced notice goes a long way, especially during peak travel times.
The Waiting Game (But Hopefully Not for Long)
Once you've contacted your airline or G2 Secure Staff, settle in and relax (because, hey, that's what vacations are for). Wheelchairs usually arrive pretty quickly, but be prepared to wait a few minutes, especially if you're rocking a surprise runway entrance with your arrival.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Entertainment Options While You Wait:
- People Watching: This is an airport, after all. You're bound to see some interesting characters (hopefully none who try to steal your wheels...stranger things have happened).
- Brush Up on Your Celebrity Gossip: Pretend you don't know who that A-lister is in the next terminal (it's totally Tom Hanks...shhh!).
- Channel Your Inner Zen Master: Breathe deeply and focus on the exciting adventures that await you.
So You've Got Your Wheels... Now What?
With your trusty steed by your side, you're ready to conquer IND! The friendly staff will help you navigate security, baggage claim, and anything else your journey throws your way.
Remember: Don't be shy to ask for help. The staff at IND are there to make your experience as smooth as possible (almost as smooth as a freshly paved runway...almost).
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
