Experience the THRILL of Flying with a Disability! & HOW!

[@lewiswharf]

A few tips… 1. Never get off the plane until a traveling companion has confirmed that your wheelchair was brought to the gate. Refuse being transferred to the aisle chair until you have that confirmation. If people get impatient, just let them know that you cannot be on the aisle chair for a long period of time. If it takes too long, the flight attendants will get involved because they want to get going to. Be kind and use them as leverage. They know how to get things done when airport personnel drop the ball. 2. The air plane seat cushion can be easily removed (it's just held down with velcro) and replace with your wheelchair cushion. This will keep your feet on the ground and your head low enough that it gets support from the head rest. If you are using a Roho cushion, be sure to adjust the air once the cabin is pressurized. 3. Remove everything off your wheelchair that can be done so easily at the gate and stored in overhead bins. Foot rest if removable. Headrest if removable. Armrests if removable. Joystick if removable. 4. Make sure you lean side to side and forward to do weight shifts. 5. Have an awesome trip!

@@lewiswharf man those are some incredible points! You honestly just taught me a bunch of things

[@Qwadsqwadd]

@@lewiswharf yeah you’re right about them bringing it to the airplane. My first two trips they didn’t bring it to the airplane and I didn’t want to be a pain in the ass so I just went with it after arguing for 10 minutes, but this time around I put my foot down and said no bring me my wheelchair and I’m so grateful I did

Great vlog makes me want to travel more. I’ve never even been on a plane! Lol

[@Qwadsqwadd]

Thanks man. You should! It’s worth it 🙃

[@deirdresmith2094]

Thats amazing to see. Im heavier than you but i can move myself over so they wont have to lift me. Im also squished in the coach seats so i would need a larger seat which costs more. Im using a mobility scooter and am fearful of damage to it which is also why i havent been on a plane since i been rolling around. Youre giving me hope to get back to flying again. Im going to follow you on your trips.

[@Qwadsqwadd]

I’m glad I could give you some hope 😁
