Air
Flying with a disability need not create any hindrance to your journey. While travel remains slightly more complicated than for the average flier, the majority of airlines are now trying to improve their service to disabled fliers and government regulations are in place to protect disabled travelers. Still, you will find the aisles in airplanes are too small to maneuver your wheelchair in, and bathrooms are generally useable. Your service dog may travel with you, but it’s your responsibility to know in advance the quarantine rules of the country you’re visiting.
For specifics about air travel planning, please visit www.flying-with-disability.org It’s a fine source of information on virtually all aspects of disabled air travel.
Ground
You will also have to choose the mode of ground transportation when you land, possibly including mobility scooters. transit wheelchairs, walkers, etc. to provide proper access as you travel through the airport to meet the hotel bus, limo or taxi service that will take you to your hotel or other destination.
