DENVER—Travelers at the Denver International Airport looked on in envy Thursday at a very lucky elderly woman, who, since her arrival, has been greeted by an airport employee and been pushed around in a wheelchair wherever she wants to go. “Man, she doesn’t have to walk to her gate or anything; I would kill to be her right now,” 32-year-old bystander Neal Bedo said of the fortunate 89-year-old, who is basically being waited on hand and foot and is currently being ushered all the way to the B Terminal, which, according to sources, is pretty far away. “I bet when she gets to the next airport, there’s going to be another wheelchair waiting for her at the jetway. And then she’ll be wheeled to baggage claim where someone will help with her luggage. What a sweet deal she’s got.” At press time, the pampered queen made everyone jealous when an airport employee went to the food court to get her a cold drink, and she got to just sit at her gate and not have to worry about standing in line or anything.
