Reply To: Boston/San Antonio with Power Chair on Southwest
Hi I’m that friend that Celeste is inquiring for 🙂 Thank you Celeste and Thanks everyone for the tips. Would anyone have contact info for a helpful department at Southwest. That could answer questions about my chair, after I give exact details about my chair and get an answer on my chair specifically? My chair is oversized I believe…it’s 41 inches High without the headrest and 33 inches wide. It weighs approx. 250 lbs because of all the customized parts and tilt/recline.
