British Airways

My only "beef" with British Airways is their "policy" of
insisting that anyone using a wheelchair sit in a window
seat (regardless of their pre-booked seat assignment). I am
not "disabled" in the sense of being unable to walk, and I
certainly have no difficulty getting out of an aisle seat
quickly - that's why I choose one (as near the lavatories as
possible). However, I do find the long, long trek from the
check-in counter to the assigned gate very difficult,
because my collapsible cane[walking stick] is packed away in
my carry-on bag. Consequently, I usually request a
wheelchair to get to and from the gate. I really had to
FIGHT with the BA flight attendants last time, before they
would allow me to sit in the aisle seat I had pre-selected
months in advance!
