Alternatively, you can go to your airline ticket counter and request one. Unfortunately, none of these options are convenient for people landing at the airport. Therefore, the best option would be to inform your airline during booking. This way, they can alert the airport, and you’ll get your wheelchair as soon as you’ve landed at the airport.
