I had a nice conversation with the person who pushed my wheelchair from the Southwest gate all the way to DME. He said that if a person requires wheelchair assistance when returning to the airport on DME, "all you need to do" is tell the DME driver and he'll call ahead to have the person from the airline meet you at the DME location. This was in response to my question of whether I had to get from DME drop-off to the airline counter to get a wheelchair (no small feat for me, if at all possible). This was a Southwest attendant, and by the way, for arriving at MCO airport, he brought me from the gate all the way to DME, stayed in line with me to check in, then stayed with me in the wheelchair until I was ready to board, then wheeled me to the bus. I couldn't be more pleased with the service, and I was just wondering if anyone has had the experience he described on returning. I won't find out myself-the plans are for DH to be driving here in a few days and then we'll drive home. Has anyone tried this?
