Who can request for special assistance services from Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines has free wheelchair assistance for the passengers who need this and have medical issues. As per the policies of Alaska Airlines, one personal wheelchair per trip is permitted in the cabin, and availability of this space is determined by first-come, first-served. Onboard wheelchairs are given precedence over other carry-on luggage. We will be happy to move your wheelchair in the cargo compartment at no extra cost if it cannot be securely stored in the authorized storage closet.

Anyone who uses a wheelchair or other mobility aids can get help from Alaska Airlines. Every airport has wheelchairs and wheelchair escorts accessible for patron use. We urge that if you want wheelchair assistance, you go to the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure time and speak with a customer service agent right away. Before your wheelchair escort arrives, there can be a little wait. At the airport, let your customer support representative know about any services you need, such as help with transfers or getting off the plane at a connecting or arrival site.

Airport wheelchair assistance is free, although reservations must be made in advance. When booking your ticket, try to get a wheelchair or cart.

The request should be available when you arrive at the airport and added to your passenger record after the phone call.
