Describe the assistance that would help
Share functional needs and preferences with the team: steps, transfers, walking distances, seating support and equipment. You do not need to put diagnoses or medical records in an initial planning form. Ask who will coordinate the arrangements.
Check the actual aircraft and both airports
Request door, stair, aisle and seat details, along with photos or a cabin plan. Confirm compatible boarding equipment and trained staff at departure and arrival. Ask what happens if the aircraft or airport changes.
Make an equipment handling plan
Provide mobility-device dimensions, weight, battery type and manufacturer handling instructions. Battery requirements depend on the device and battery design; follow the operator’s confirmed acceptance process. Agree on storage, return of equipment and protection from damage.
Clarify assistance and personal care
Discuss transfers, cabin movement and lavatory access in practical terms. Ask which services can be provided and whether a companion or specialist arrangement is needed. Consult the relevant passenger-rights authority for your flight; applicability can depend on the service and jurisdiction.
Check the journey end to end.
