This weekend I'll be traveling with my parents, my Dad is 80 years old, very hard of hearing and because he doesn't hear very well, sometimes doesn't know exactly what is going on. He needs my mom to be near him, she's become his ears. The last time I flew with them, I wanted to get pre-boarding, but the lady at the ticket counter said I couldn't. What do I need to do to ensure they can get pre-boarding. I fly at least once a month, and I see families with school-aged children, who are boarding during family boarding, I understand traveling with children because we travel with our grandchildren, I guess, I'm gently and respectfully saying... Seniors in the late 70's need some extra time. My parents don't need wheelchairs, just a little extra time to negotiate the boarding experience. They have stopped traveling alone because it is so stressful. Any suggestions?
