Bringing Crutches On-Board?
My sister-in-law recently broke a bone in her right foot.
She will be flying with us to Honolulu from YOW via YYZ and YVR on AC tomorrow, and returning 1.5 weeks later.
She has been upgraded on all 3 flights tomorrow. We will see if she is upgraded on the return flights.
She will be bringing her crutches. Would she be able to have them placed in the overhead bins?

Certainly crutches are allowed on board.
They are stored in cupboards (space permitting), in an overhead bin (space permitting) or can be stored against the sidewalls at a window seat (space permitting).
We always find a spot.
