Am I allowed to board a plane in my electric wheel chair?

Question by Guru: Am I allowed to board a plane in my electric wheel chair?
I would like to know if American with Disability Act can be use to push air carriers to accommodate people with disabilities. I want to fly on my next vacation overseas, but I am confined to my electric wheel chair. I want to board the plane in it just like I do on buses and trains. Anybody?
I am independent, but just because I have my electric W/C. Without it, I would need people around me for my mobility needs and this makes me uncomfortable.

Yes, I'm almost certain the airline will do everything they can to accommodate you. If not, then they should be discredited. Do you have some kind of carer?
