It seems more and more airlines are mishandling, or damaging, wheelchairs and scooters belonging to passengers with mobility issues.
But a recent study from Insure My Trip looked at U.S. Department of Transportation data, and has ranked the best and worst airlines for those traveling in a wheelchair.
Scoring best — for least number of mishandled wheelchairs — JetBlue, followed by Delta and Alaska Air.
But the airlines coming in at the bottom? Frontier, and American.
It should be noted that last year, the DOT fined American a whopping $50 million for its treatment of wheelchair users.
