9/23 Flight back to New York via Frankfurt. One of the most awkward wheelchair handling procedures. We got asked the same questions at least ten times, and nobody seemed to understand what we wanted or how to do it. Not even Lufthansa, usually the best airline when it comes to wheelchairs, got it right this time. – The flight was tortuous. We both had enough sleep debt that we could have slept the entire flight, yet finding a position to actually sleep in was impossible. We dozed on and off for five to six hours with no real sleep.
