rr,

No such ruck trying to re-ticket ahead of time like a sensible person.... unless I want to pay last-minute full-freight fare.... show up with all the other lemmings and take my chances.

My plan includes ordering wheelchair assistance. With health problems I have been having, I qualify, and I am sure they will not want to have a crabby chairbound lady on their hands any longer than absolutely necessary, especilly when I INSIST on repaying their courtesy with a free washboard concert. I also anticipate that the clacking of Therapeutic Claves can echo quite crisply in airport acoustics. And if that doesn't do it, the last resort-- sing reedy high soprano along with my Tom Waits tape.

Yeah. Better pray real hard.
