toast1 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybole Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. UP2U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
