I flew JU 501 from NYC to BEG 2 weeks ago. On this flight, there were 30 wheelchair passengers at boarding. 30! That is 5 rows of 6 wheelchairs lined up at the gate. it took up most of the hallway. I've never seen so many wheelchairs for a single flight.

I've always thought it tastes like fruit bubble gum. Can't quite pinpoint what it is though
Cuy urine. Don't like the stuff.
If I were a moderator you would all be banned.
PD. How do you know how cuy's urine tastes like?

Not sure if free-flowing, but there is in fact plenty of bottled water available on J

thanks to all the responses
thankfully she got the inka kola for free from the lounge - but didn't even get to try it before confiscation.
I had no issue with wheelchair bound passengers boarding first, but I've never seen such a long parade of them. I figured they may be the sort that just get of at JFK and go straight to bellevue for the free care.
the chemical swab I've seen before, just not at the boarding gate, but also, it seemed they were selecting passengers waiting in line before boarding had even started. That was what made that most strange.
So, if I had a receipt for the inka kola from the store next to the gate would it have been allowed on?
Thanks
