After flying with my elderly father from Washington，D.C.to L．A.in July，I began to realize that a companion has important tasks that can make a journey easier for old people.I booked nonstop tickets on JetBlue to avoid tiring，confusing connections，and we flew directly into Long Beach airport.Even though my father could walk，I arranged with the airline for wheelchair assistance，which meant we got on board first. When I took him back to the airport for his return flight to Washington，I got permission from JetBlue to wait with him at the gate instead of saying goodbye at the security checkpoint.I wished he'd had a first­class seat and access to a comfortable airline club.Better yet，I wished I had flown with him on both ways.As I watched the attendant wheel him to the lift that would take him from the tarmac (停机坪) to the plane，I felt like an anxious mom sending her child to school for the first time. Things can go awry on a plane trip.And then there is a horrifying story about Joe and Margie.When they landed at Dallas­Fort Worth International airport，a wheelchair attendant met them to help with a connection.But somehow Margie，who had Alzheimer's disease，disappeared. I didn't need to worry about my father's wandering away；at 82，his mind was sharper than mine.But his hearing was poor，so I worried about what would happen if he missed an important announcement.Fortunately，everything went just fine.A good arrangement made the trip successful. Next time I travel with a senior，I'll know better.I hope there will be a next time. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过陪同父亲乘坐飞机的经历告诉我们：要为老人出行做好准备。 1．Why did the author buy nonstop tickets?
