Would that include weighing your wheelchair?
Is this going to end up being charged by the kilo...a bit like in a fish/ meat market?

From personal experience, the weight of things like a wheelchair are already taken into consideration and placed into the hold separately.

So you have to leave your wheelchair and be seated, I had no idea.

Obviously, you can't sit in a wheelchair on the plane?

They use a lift to wheel you on board in your chair, have assistants to help you into the front row which is usually adapted for disabled passengers and then store their chair in the hold.

Very interesting.
Believe it or not I have never flown in my life.
Ocean going liners were the in thing back in the day.
