Re: wheelchairs, most airlines fly them free of charge and with little trouble so long as it's a manual wheelchair and the request is under code WCHR (wheelchair for the ramp). Request for powered wheelchair is more of a hassle to put in, because you need to provide a lot of info; I recently had to argue with a customer who refused to provide the necessary information such as wheelchair manufacturer and model; he felt more comfortable arguing with me for half an hour than taking a good look at his damn wheelchair. WCHC requests (wheelchair all the way to the seat) are possible but there's a pile of medical forms to fill.
To my knowledge, the only disability service that is actually chargeable is if you request the airline to provide in-flight medical oxygen.
No diss to you Womble, just I know how many smart people do crap jobs just for the money, or extra money.
