Before You Travel

Before flying, contact your airline to confirm their policies on travel mobility scooters, as some have a 2 scooter limit per flight.

To travel on most airlines, the lithium battery in the travel mobility scooter must be less than 300Wh capacity so make sure to check if the battery complies with airline regulations. 

When notifying the airline that you want to bring a folding mobility scooter with you on your trip, they will ask for specific information which you can often find online or in your product manual. Ensure you print off a few copies of all requested paperwork just in case you need to present this at any point of your trip. Do allow yourself as much time as possible before flying to ensure all procedures are followed.

At The Airport

Arrive extra early to allow ample time for security checks on your folding mobility scooter, as staff may need to inspect it thoroughly and attach necessary tags. Inform check-in and security staff about your scooter and have all required paperwork ready.

Additionally, why not take advantage of pre-boarding services offered to passengers who need assistance as this can relieve pressure we face when travelling, leaving you with a clear head and worry-free journey.

Boarding

When boarding your flight, your folding mobility scooter will be stored in the cargo hold with the rest of the luggage.

As you say a temporary goodbye to your folding mobility scooter, you will be asked to fold up the travel mobility scooter and remove the batteries to then give the folded mobility scooter to the airline crew. The battery that you removed MUST be taken on board the aircraft with your cabin bags.

Rest assured, the airline staff are trained to handle mobility equipment with care and if you need assistance moving through the airport or to your seat, request it in advance as most airlines provide excellent support for passengers with mobility needs.
