Pardon a newbie question. I have a moderate, temporary disability involving my feet. I can walk some distances, but not long distances at a quick pace, such as found in airports, especially with connecting flights.

Someone told me I should ask for wheelchair assistance. Is there an alternative? I used to see those electric golf carts zipping around with elderly, presumably mobility impaired pax. Is that type of intra airport transport available, and if so how would you go about requesting it? Or should I just ask for wheelchair assistance?

Thanks.
