She asked the question if most of the people in wheelchairs going to Florida were just doing it as a scam to get on the plane first.

Many years ago I flew in and out of Florida frequently; this was in the days of Eastern Airlines, and when many flights to or from Florida connected through Atlanta. Flights crews then called the Florida flights “miracle flights” due to the many passengers that needed assistance to board early but were able to walk off the plane by themselves without waiting for a wheelchair.
