Disability flying

[toast1]

I am registerd disabled, though I can move around mostly without any problems.

 

Should I tell the airline, in case there's a need for assistance.

Or should I leave it.
Could it cause problems, or demands from the airline.

 

Thanks

You should declare it at check in. The airline may decide not to seat you beside an emergency exit in case you obstruct its use. On the other had it may decide to upgrade you to a better seat

Wishful thinking, but in today's scaled back everything airline wise for profits, that ain't going happen.  Depending on and if a mobility problem, you may want to inform them if not an obvious issue.  As stated, sitting in exit row or aisle/middle seat would affect others in an emergency.

 

Or you many not won't to inform them, so you're not considered 'expendable, for the sake of the other inconsiderate passengers.
