If not, we've found that an informal request to the gate agent allows us to preboard. After all, it's in the airline's interest - stops blocking the aisles.
Don’t forget to tip the person pushing your wheelchair as they are all on very low salaries.
... in the same way you tip flight attendants? It may be worth reading through this thread: Wheelchair attendant tipping etiquette
