How can passengers with disabilities and their caregivers prepare for a flight?
top If a traveler with a disability requires specific seating requirements, special assistance or anything else in regards to a disability, we recommend contacting the airline directly. The carrier must work ensure those needs are met. For wheelchair users in particular, there is a definite sense of relief in knowing the airlines are supposed to know precisely how to protect and handle a wheelchair in flight. For air travelers with a range of disabilities, there have been many improvements in service and accommodations. However, planning ahead and knowing what to look out for are still essential for a problem-free trip.
