We have a direct flight the end of the month to MCO. My father can walk but we are considering bringing his small foldable transport wheelchair to get through the airport as he is in remission from cancer. Just wondering if anyone has any experience they can share using a transport wheelchair? I want to check it at the gate but not sure where it will be stowed and how to get it once we arrive at our destination. Also, what about taking it through security? Not sure if we should take our own wheelchair or just request wheelchair assistance from SW. Anyone have a similar experience they can share, I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Hello! Southwest and TSA have some nice FAQ's that outlines this: https://www.southwest.com/help/accessible-travel-assistance/wheelchairs-and-other-devices
https://www.tsa.gov/travel/tsa-cares/disabilities-and-medical-conditions
Long story short, you can bring a wheelchair through TSA (The agent will explain what inspections will be needed which will likely include a physical search of the cushions), it can either be gate-checked or stowed in the cabin if it can be safely stowed. If checked, it will go in the cargo area. Once at your destination and if the wheelchair is checked, you can ask the Gate Agent or Flight Attendants to have your wheelchair brought to the jet bridge area.

Just an update, my flight ended up being cancelled after multiple delays and waiting at the airport for a few hours. I ended up driving 1-1/2 hours to another airport to take the first flight out the next morning.

You can actually move it up to 30 days on some of these waivers now days so that holiday travel (memorial day) could be the cheapest yet.

Yes the EB check in will stay with your reservation as long as the new flight you change to is more than 36 hours before departure when you make the change. Remember if you cancel your flight you lose the EB -Blake

Once you use a gift card on a flight those funds become non refundable and non transferable and you will have a year from when you originally buy the ticket on the flight to use those funds. You can change/cancel as much as you need to up till the funds expire just keep in mind if you book a flight for yourself only you will be able to use those funds. -Blake

Since this is a customer to customer forum, no one here will have an answer to your question . My suggestion would be to check the schedule every once in a while. As said above, flight schedules do change ( based on expected demand and aircraft availability).
