Reply To: Flying a child in a wheelchair UK-Japan
Cheryl
I am so excited for you though I am sure you feel this is a daunting job to get everything in place.
I travelled extensively with my son and his power wheelchair. We are from Canada so a great deal of our travel has been on Air Canada which has been good for the most part but totally agree with going with a Japanese airline if you can and if at all possible fly direct.
Plan ahead and get a seat not too far from an accessible toilet as it is a long flight. Go to gate with chair and if you need to you can take cushion seat off chair to make him more comfortable
Do give us an up date on your travel
Travel is the best education for anyone Enjoy
