[Tracy Carcione]

Wow, 14-hour flights!  Non-stop?  I'm not sure Krokus could handle that.

I fly Alaska majority of the time. Until recently, they have always put 
me in the bulkhead with my guide which is a big Golden. Now thy consider 
that Premium and I have to pay and extra 130$. Where as before there was 
no up charge. This is a new way to charge people with disabilities. Goes 
for the same with people in wheel chairs.

So far flying Delta internationally, I have not run into this as long as 
you talk to accessibility desk first. I have been taking 14 hour flights 
and so far they have been very accommodating. Alaska USED to be.
