Things To Consider As A Wheelchair User When Flying

• Try and get an extra amount of your medication just in case any of your suitcases get lost.

• Keep your medical insurance cards and a letter with all the medication you take handy.

• Try to get a seat next to a plane exit for extra legroom.

• Leave wheelchair instructions and show where everything is to the airline personal to avoid damage.

• Check for the company who made your chair and ask them what’s best for air travelling with your chair.

• Wear comfortable and breathable clothing.

• Explain the way you are comfortable with to aeroplane personal when they lift you to your seat.

• Keep calm when and if issues arise.
