FLy to MNL frequently, when connecting in JFK and especially in NRT for the flight tpo MNL, its amazing to see the number fo people needing a whell chair to clear lines and board early, for the main purpose of snagging as much over head bin space as they can manage. For some unknown reason they always seem to let the other 4 or 5 people traveling with them board early also. I can see may be one person, but why all the others?
Funny thing is some where over the South China Sea they all get cured, and when the bell dings to deplane in MNL they all jump up, grab their carry -ons, and make a mad dash off the plane without the need for the wheel chair any longer.
