No... we addressed that! You should be able to get a pass from the airline. If you can't get one, don't all airlines offer free wheelchair service?

Last week I was flying from CLT to FLL. The wheelchair service person brought an elderly person to the gate and left her. Before she had brought her, there had already been a gate change announced. The poor little old lady had to walk it to the next gate which was only 3 gates away... but to a little old person who could barely walk, that's a long way.

Shouldn't she have made sure there were not gate changes before she left her? I have sympathy for elderly people because of my parents and would hate for that to have happened to my mom or dad.
