So I am wondering what to do in my situation. I am a recent double amputee below the knee. I can walk (slowly) with a walker and will be using a wheelchair to get to and from the gate and the plane. I don't really need assistance beyond that - however I probably need a bulkhead seat so I can fit comfortably with my prosthetic legs. My next trip is in April and I will probably still be on the walker for support. Would it be abusing the system to ask to pre-board? My walker will likely have to be gate-checked since it won't fit in the overhead compartment. I don't want to abuse the privilege of possibly preboarding, but I just want to make sure I can get on with minimum discomfort for myself as well as other passengers. thanks Ken
