Will airport wheelchair assistance help carry my laptop bag too? (Post-surgery travel)

Hi everyone,

I’ll be traveling from India to the US soon and will be around 6–7 weeks post-surgery. Because of that, I won’t be able to walk long distances or carry anything heavy.

I’m planning to request wheelchair assistance at the airport, but I had a question — will the staff also help carry my laptop bag/backpack? It’s quite heavy, and I’m worried about managing it through check-in, security, and boarding.

If anyone has used wheelchair assistance recently (especially for international flights), could you share your experience? Do they help with personal bags too, or should I arrange something separately?

Thanks in advance!
