This just occurred to me while making business travel arrangements for the end of October. I won't be in need of a wheelchair but I will not be able to stand for long periods if time, meaning I will probably have a problem if I need to wait in a security line for more than 20 minutes or so. I am most concerned about immigration lines which sometimes can be several hours until you actually get through (I am flying out of country). Since there won't be any options to sit while waiting in line, I will be in need of assistance here.
Does anyone have idea what to do? Do I contact the airport and ask for wheelchair transport through security and immigration or do I contact the airline? I won't be needing a wheelchair at any other time during the trip so taking one just for the airport isn't really an option. I looked at the airline website and they are only talking about how things work if you bring your own wheelchair. Then I looked at the airport websites (departure and arrival) and are receiving conflicting information (go through airline/go through airport)... I'm a bit at a loss here.
