Waiting In Terminal

• While waiting in your terminal, propping your feet up on your carry-on luggage can help decrease fatigue and blood pooling.

• Talk to the gate agent(s) about your need to pre-board the plane is applicable, and what steps they recommend for you.

• Make sure to continue to hydrate as needed and use the bathroom prior to your flight if possible.

• Sit as close to the entrance as you can, and use your mobility aid or collapsible stool if you need to wait in line instead of standing. For a few options, click here.
