And to add a nice note, on the trip home — again, this is back in fall 2022 — an Air Canada gate agent noticed that I'd been waiting for a while in the wheelchair for an "official" escort, so she slipped away from the check-in desk and pushed me herself all the way through the airport and right to my car in the underground parking lot (my spouse was with me, but she couldn't push both the wheelchair and the baggage cart).

That young women went way above and beyond, and I took a photo of her ID badge (with her permission) so that I could send a letter to Air Canada.
