You will see the people being pushed in a wheelchair go through the fast lane at security and arrive at the gate . They often have their support dog on their lap and go to the head of the line for early boarding. No waiting for them, and it is sad to see they have problems.
Something happens on the "Miracle Flight" because, remarkably, when the plane arrives in Florida they stand up and jog off of the plane. It is amazing to watch!

And many times they have wheelchairs waiting for them at the jetbridge or right inside the terminal.
If they do not get off the plane with the other passengers, then they have to wait for the entire plane to deboard, possibly blocking some other passengers trying to get out.
I wouldn't call these "miracle flights" at all, just flights with people who have trouble getting around and are trying to do their best to manage it.
I fly quite a bit, primarily in and out of TPA. Can't recall too many times I have seen anyone of any age actually "jog" off of a plane, it's usually a herd of slow moving people.
