Well, here goes I am going to start my trip report with the first thread which will help others with airplane info. I called Delta Airlines yesterday and inquired as to my seating arrangements, luggage etc. When I first called I was transferred to an agent who really did not even know what an aisle chair was 
so I was transferred to someone else
the next agent was more knowledgeable about the procedures. First question was can I transfer to a manual wheel, so I let her know I could not transfer. So she did tell me that I was allowed to bring my electric wheelchair right up to the aircraft, where I would transfer to an aisle chair. I told her I was traveling with my mother who uses a cane and needs to elevate her feet because she had some blood clot issues recently, and DH
She told me that my husband might be"bumped" from his seat in the bulkead row in someone's with a service animal should need the space. I totally understand that, but let's hope that will not happen since DH takes care of both of US.
She asked me what type of battery my chair had wet, dry or gel because it makes a big difference on how they are handled.
I then asked her regarding luggage and she told me the following:
Delta Airlines:
Only 1 checked baggage up to 50lbs. 62 inch = l × w × h
1 Carryon up to 40lbs. 22 inch
1 personal item purse, laptop
1st Additional bag is $25 each way
I hope this gives some good input.
