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!

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.
