Hi! I assume you are in the US so the link I am sending is American.
This is the one I have used the last few years (I have MS, and I am partially ambulatory so I check my wheelchair in at the aircraft door).
its very light and folds down pretty well. While I have been lucky to never had it damaged by an airline, I would advise to keep the removable foot rests tied with tie wraps so they don’t fall
off in transit.
i can push myself in this one but my husband does most of the pushing. We have found it’s reasonably comfortable and handles most relatively even surfaces well. For the most part, when it comes to sand or cobble stones we’d all much rather have a hover craft, right? 🤣
