You are in for an experience and I sincerely hope a very good and positive one too. Check with your airlines by phone for their policy. You might also check with your departing airport for their policy too. You will not fly in your chair. You will be transferred from your chair, into an aisle chair, that will roll you to your seat and then you will be transferred again. I hope you are also traveling with a companion to assist you. Make sure that your chair is secured and not in gear. Your headrest, joystick and controller should be removed and boxed for protection and reassembled at your destination. Traveling in a wheelchair these days are much easier then it was 10 years ago. But you will see for yourself as you fly. Just be prepared and know what to expect... don't assume.

I have a c500 permobil and am on a vent. We have to fly back east. I have never flown with this chair or this vent, what can I expect from the airline and what should I be doing to prepare. Cullen C3
