Reply To: Help transfer in the plane (overweight)
Hello Anthony,
Thank you very much for your answer and all these tips !
My client must use a hoist for the bed and toilet.
I made it clear that the person does not travel alone and that her life assistant cannot do the transfer alone.
But I didn’t specify for the hoist !
And I was not aware of any companies using this system.
This is very good news ! I will clarify this information to the airlines.
I will also contact the airports, indeed, because it would need this system before boarding.
Thank you for your article, it-s verry clear and helping 🙂
