You need to info the ticketing carrier of the desire for wheel chair assist. You should be specific if on-plane assistance is needed or if delivery and pickup on the jetway is sufficient.
They will take you thru security and customs / immigration.
Electric carts are used for longer distances at some airport.
Delivery to and pickup from lounges is possible
Always call the operating carrier and confirm wheelchair assist the day before.
Thanks,
WineCountryUA. UA is operating the flight and I have added a request for assistance to the flight. It's a little complicated in that Swiss is flying the first segment (to ZRH), but I figure I can check in at the gate with UA in ZRH to make sure things are on track.
