I agree that you let the airline know your condition and that you need to sit in comfort seating close to the front of the plane. They will put it in your records. I have balance issues and have to have a wheelchair to the plane, I use a foldable cane and I also bring my rolater
when I travel that they will put on the plane in the closet since Delta ruined 2 rolators that they checked at the door in baggage.
Good luck!

I suggest, if you are alone, just let the airlines know, and they are GREAT about watching out for you.
