You have more self-control than I do!
Sorry, did not mean to confuse. Fortunately I am not confined to a wheel chair. I just have problem walking distances gvien my lost lung capacity . I was referring to the wheelchair service now offered at airports for anyone who is physially in difficulty for walking the distance.
And it is a worldwide service. I especially loved the service in Milan Italy airport. The wheelchair was motorized! Good thing because I was staying at hotel in the airport and the distance was really far!

No confusion at all. Disability is more complex than many able people realise.
My story is from 2 years ago. I was also able to go short distances using a walker/rollator by then (a *huge* victory after a year's hard physical rehab while also dealing with cancer treatments), but I wasn't up for the long walks in an airport yet.
I never got all my mobility back, but I can get around reasonably well now, and no longer require extra boarding assistance for planes or trains, or take the accessible seats on transit. I've also take the accessible parking permit out of the car. I feel very fortunate.
