Plan the journey door to door

List each transfer, entrance and connection. Check dimensions and assistance arrangements directly with the transport provider before you book.

Prepare your chair information

Keep the model name, complete weight, dimensions, battery label and manual together. Explain how the chair is powered down and moved manually, following the manufacturer’s procedure.

Confirm battery acceptance

Battery acceptance depends on the exact battery and operator. A general “travel-friendly” label is not a booking confirmation. Obtain current requirements for every leg of your journey.

Prepare for the destination

Check charging arrangements, local service contacts and the return journey. Allow extra time for assistance and keep essential removable items with you where permitted.
