I know what you mean. Every once in a while, I look at full flights and wonder how many people are traveling for non-essential reasons like vacation, and how many of them are blocking people who have serious business needs for travel but are unable to get seats because of them. We should move to a "ticket by need" program as flights fill up.

Stupid question.. but in a few weeks, I may be taking a 75 yr old to the airport who can't walk well and hasn't flown in years. We'll probably use a wheel chair.
Airlines do have a procedure where someone the person knows can go through to the gate with them, even if not flying that day, right?
