Check out pictures or videos of ‘people in wheelchairs’ at Southwest Airline gates who sit in a wheelchair simply for priority boarding.
Also, security blanket animals, I forgot the actual term they use but that’s what they are.

I fly very often, and my company has on many an occasion forced me to use Southwest Airlines. I have taken far more flights where there was there wasn't anyone flying in a wheel chair to begin with, than ones where this is even a possibility. Again, the people that are the loudest here are the people worried about it happening and perhaps some folks on social media platforms posting about doing it, but the inverse evidence that its a real, rampant issue is lacking, even anecdotally its inconsistent.
- LtWorf 2y agoI'm disabled and I've done it many times (though never in USA). It's probably bullshit. Thing is that you might be able to walk but not able to do the distances in an airport, and sometimes in airports they just sit you in a wheelchair for their own convenience, because they have 10000 other people to take care of. There's degrees of disability. Someone might be able to do a few steps, that doesn't mean they're 100% fine. quickthrowman is just finding excuses to get outraged hating at disabled people.
