Hi Joan Re Flying, here my input Always ask for an aisle seat - pick the seat that permits my worst "parkie" side to be facing the aisle. I'm uncomfortable trying to keep from bothering someone sitting next to me. take your own small water bottle along with your pills - (no matter where you go) I refer my seat be behind another seat because when off, My feet need something to brace against to hold me up. take plenty of money for tips (get $50 in single $1 bills) - and don't be bashful. I usually travel alome. And the minute I get to the airport, I'm greeted by a porter. And although it's costing me a couple dollars, it's worth it. Start out with a porter that you can pay to take you every step of the way -- don't have him/her dro you offf at the ticket ciunter, then get another one to the gate, to the luggage pick - up, or to the taxi pick-up area. Ask the porter att the beginning if he/she's willing to stick with you all the waay -- I negotiate with him/her up front before Ilet myself be wheeled away. Keepy
