Air travel with a mobility scooter involves a range of logistical considerations. Depending on the airline, travelers may need to disassemble their scooter, provide detailed specifications at check-in, and will need to comply with FAA rules and restrictions regarding lithium batteries. Airlines may also have varying policies on how and when scooters are stowed in the cargo area and returned. Being aware of these details in advance is key to avoiding delays or complications.
“Traveling by air with a mobility scooter can be daunting, especially if it’s your first time,” says Mobility Frontiers. “Our new guide simplifies the process, helping individuals prepare effectively and understand their rights every step of the way.”
Mobility Frontiers guides travelers through essential steps to ensure a safe and enjoyable flight. Topics within their report include battery safety, documentation requirements, check-in procedures, early arrival recommendations, and the use of airport assistance services.
The guide notes that early communication with airlines is highly recommended and also encourages travelers to become familiar with the ACAA, which mandates respectful accessibility policies and prohibits discrimination based on disability. It explains the accommodations airports are required to provide, such as assistance with luggage and personal belongings, boarding assistance, and accessible seating arrangements.
A section on ‘In-Flight Tips and Strategies’ provides valuable information about the need for access to personal items during the flight, which can include medications, snacks, or entertainment, and reassures audiences that asking a flight attendant for help is both appropriate and encouraged, as cabin crew are trained to assist passengers with mobility-related needs.
Mobility Frontiers’ guide also outlines what travelers should do if their equipment is mishandled or damaged, including contacting a Complaints Resolution Official and instructions on how to initiate a claim. The guide concludes with a section on what to expect when disembarking, how to retrieve a mobility scooter and deplaning assistance.
