What passengers often use to deplane.
As used by the airlines, an extensible walkway that is articulated and usually enclosed. It kind of looks like a stretched out accordian from the outside. It is positioned so that passengers can walk from the terminal building to the door of the aircraft in comfort and safety.

Get the Jizz jetway mug.When people fake the use of a wheelchair to get early boarding on a flight, but when the flight lands and they are miraculously able to walk off the plane on their own two feet, they've been "healed" by Jetway Jesus.
My flight yesterday had 10 people who needed wheelchairs to board and only two who needed wheelchairs to get off. Jetway Jesus must've been really busy on that flight!

Get the Jetway Jesus mug.A mythical figure colloquially known in the airline industry believed to miraculously 'heal' passengers who request wheelchairs or any other form of mobility assistance at their point of departure but mysteriously no longer need it upon their arrival. The sudden recovery is often attributed to the miraculous intervention of 'Jetway Jesus'. The term reflects the cynical humor often employed by airline employees due to the perceived misuse of accessibility services by able-bodied passengers.
After helping a passenger in a wheelchair onto the plane, I was surprised to see her walk off unassisted at the destination. Looks like we've had another visit from Jetway Jesus.

Get the Jetway Jesus mug.A term that no one uses and one guy decided to come up with as away of spreading ableist ignorance.
Ignorance about mobility aids use are the reason people give ambulatory wheelchair users attitude, harass them, and interrogate them. The majority of wheelchair users are ambulatory wheelchair users; meaning they are able to walk or stand for certain short amounts of time. The process of standing in line to check your baggage, then walking to TSA, then standing in line to go through TSA, and then walking to your terminal (this doesn’t even account for if you need food) can either be entirely too much for a person with a disability or chronic illness, or exasperate their pain to the extreme. That entire process should also, not be compared to the less than 50 feet it takes to walk to your wheelchair.

Some guy on Urban Dictionary: Wow, look at those people walk off the plane to their wheelchairs! Jetway Jesus must have healed them.
Me: You don’t need to be paralyzed to need a wheelchair. Most wheelchair users can walk some distance. 😑

Get the Jetway Jesus mug.Falsely needing wheelchairs at airports, to get priority boarding when getting ON the plane, but NO LONGER NEED THE WHEELCHAIRS upon arrival.
On that last flight, 14 passengers got on the plane by wheelchair, but by the time we got to Los Angeles, 10 of them had been miraculously healed by "Jetway Jesus!"
