Planning to travel?

Check out our recent Accessible Air Travel webinar to hear from advocates and agency officials on new DOT wheelchair rules, traveler protections, and practical tips for flying with a mobility device. Learn how to advocate for yourself and what to do if your wheelchair is damaged so you can travel with confidence this holiday season. Watch now at ChristopherReeve.org/AirTravel

Some of our top tips:

Ask About the Aisle Chair: Most flights have an onboard aisle chair. Alternatively, you may prefer a window seat for comfort and safety (no one climbing over or inadvertently bumping into you from the aisle). Flight attendants are trained to assist, so communicate your needs.

Protect Your Wheelchair: Use visible labels/signage to flag handling instructions. Airlines may have a specific form. Otherwise, tape label to seat pan (if taking a cushion) or on the back of the chair. Make sure to include your name/contact info, flight number, origin and destination, and any special instructions (related to your battery, controller, brakes, etc.). You may also use a bungie cord to hold a folded seat in place.

Keep Removable Chair Parts: Store parts such as arm rests and sideguards in a bag above your seat.

Pack a Tool Kit: Carry a small wheelchair repair kit for minor fixes. Check to make sure items are TSA-approved.

Document Before Flying: Photograph your wheelchair’s condition pre-flight.

Confirm ADA Room Details and other Accommodations: Verify in advance that your hotel guarantees the correct accessible room (roll-in shower, bed height, layout). With regards to airline boarding chair, remind and verify as you go through the airport (at check-in and at the gate).

Prevent pressure injuries: Use a seat cushion during the flight to prevent pressure sores.
