It's been about a decade since we last traveled to WDW via air as a family. DH uses an ECV and we've been driving. I'm a bit stale with my knowledge with regard to air travel. So, here goes:
1) Travel will be in Dec 2020 just prior to Christmas. Should I wait for SW fares for that time period or book on other airlines if the flights are non stop and reasonable with fares and luggage fees?
2) Assuming I wait until SW releases their fares for Dec, I'm not sure what's the best approach for our situation. DH needs to use his ECV in the airport to get to the gate. He cannot stand or walk for long or much of a distance. With his mobility issues and needing to check the ECV at the gate, where does that put him in boarding groups?
3) We are a group of 4, DH and myself, DS and his GF. Will I be able to board with my husband? How do I best handle DS and his GF? Do I pay for EBCI for all of us?
4) DH is a big man, not due to weight, but 6'4" with broad shoulders. Should I be proactive and purchase additional seat for him? I saw where I can then ask SW to credit the cost of that afterwards?
5) DD and her BF will travel SW from a different airport. Am I correct in thinking anything that's recommended for DS and GF to do on our flight should be done for them on theirs?
Any information you can provide would be much appreciated. If this is better in it's own thread, let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help!
