Group Description
Share tips and experiences on accessible air travel, airport navigation, and in-flight accommodations for travelers with disabilities. From booking assistance and seat selection to security screening, boarding, and accessible facilities on planes, this is the place to ask questions or offer advice – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find first-hand reviews, personal stories, and recommendations for cultural, nature, and leisure trips that start with a flight. This group welcomes all accessibility needs, helping you enjoy a more accessible and stress-free flying experience.

Depending on the airline you are flying, I would think you should be able to contact them and ask. When we book flights we look at the layout of the airplane to understand whether there is an accessible bathroom and try to choose our seats based upon its location. Of course, there’s no guarantee the plane will be the same as we booked. We also confirm both at the gate and then again on the flight that there will be an aisle transfer chair available during the flight and ask that an attendant put eyes on it to confirm it is still in place. I’m sure the attendants find this annoying but they have always been kind in doing so and hopefully understand the critical nature of it for someone on a long haul flight who needs it.
