Group Description
The flying with a disability group is here to ensure that all those living with a disability can travel freely, comfortably, and confidently. Here, you can engage with a dynamic and supportive group of individuals who understand the challenges and nuances of flying with a disability.
We covers a wide range of topics that include advice on navigating various airports, tips on checking you wheelchair or mobility device, and the latest news on airline policies and services. You can also share personal experiences, exchange stories, and ask any questions you may have about flying in a wheelchair or with a mobility device.
Members are encouraged to share practical solutions and innovative ideas to make air travel a smooth and pleasant journey for everyone. We believe that disability should never be a barrier to exploring the skies. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or preparing for your first flight, our group is here to empower your journey. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!
Reply To: Airplane Seat Cushion Ideas for Disabled Fliers
Is your wheelchair’s seat cushion removable? Mine’s attached to the frame by Velcro. I can pull mine out if I need to.
My problem isn’t the cushion but the angle of the seat back. My wheelchair seat back is at only 30 degrees. Even if I recline the airplane seat back, it’s still not enough. So I slouch down so my hip can be at 30 degrees.
