Boarding Flight Early for Special Assistance?
I’m 4’7” and flying next month internationally with my son who is smaller than me. I’m a little anxious about boarding and deplaning with our carryon bags that will need to go in the overhead bin as my taller husband won’t be there to help me.
I’m just wondering if it’s ok to try and board early when they call for anyone that needs more time or assistance? The only way for me to get the bags in the overhead bin is to climb up on the aisle seat first and then hoist the bag in - I don’t mind doing that at all, but if I board with my normal group number there’s a high chance people will already be sitting in the aisle seats and I’ll have to ask them to move and wait for me to deal with the bags which is really embarrassing due to everyone around me staring. Anyone have an experience with this?
