I am a US Citizen.

Once through customs, I note I will need to take a shuttle from A to F. Will the wheelchair (and assistant) be able to go on the shuttle?

I also note the lounge in Term F is closed (I am travelling on a business ticket).

Would I be able to use the lounge in Term A before going over to Term F (I have 3 hour connection)?

Or is it best to use the lounge in between Terminal B and C (it seems this is connected to term A) - then request assistance from this lounge to the shuttle from C to F?

Or would this complicate things too much? I just dont want to be hanging around Terminal F for around 2 hours without a lounge.

Suggestions please

to get from A/B/C to F you need a shuttle. The hike from A to the BC club is not short, and doesnt save you anything being "closer" to F. I'd relax in the A club, which used to be the Envoy lounge before it was turned into a regular club. justleave some leeway getting to F as you need the shuttle, and F may include a long huike depending on which gate you are headed to and such.
