Wheelchair Accessible Airplanes? Did Delta Achieve it?

[@charleneshumard2706]

they need to hire you as an advisor girl!

[@natalielomske]

Thank you!!!

[@13KcMagicGirlCosplay]

This would be amazing.

[@natalielomske]

Right? I hope the option is available soon!

[@carollewis3912]

​@@natalielomskeIs this for only power chairs or manual chairs also?

[@natalielomske]

@@carollewis3912 It appears to be for both, but I'm looking into it. I'll make an update video soon!

[@carollewis3912]

@@natalielomske Thank you. Also, will it only be in first class? I didn't think about it but my son's manual chair is too wide to go down the aisle. They use the aisle chair. So unless some changes were made it wouldn't work in economy.

I just came across this video, and I'm delighted to see how the accessibility of airplanes has progressed. I hope that the flexibility of their system has improved since you recorded this video.

[@natalielomske]

Delta is planning on implementing this plan within the next few years! Hopefully it happens soon!

Great job raising awareness and asking questions!

[@natalielomske]

Thank you!

That's great! I'm hoping it'll workout for all. Have an incredible day! Cheers.

Oh my gosh! I have had the same experience with flying! I flew to SoCal … left VA with a full charge/hand controls wrapped in bubble wrap. At arrival the battery was almost dead and the controls were damaged. They didn’t do a thing to rectify it 😢. I didn’t know it was common. So atm I’m “legless” 😢

I hope your wheelchair is fixed soon!

[@BrunoDeJesusSilva-vs4pi]

With how many years old you was for wheelchair?

[@BrunoDeJesusSilva-vs4pi]

How many years old you have of age ?

[@mr.gvideo]

How do you do transfer??

[@natalielomske]

Which transfer are you referring to?

[@steelersbensteelersfan7794]

It’s should be installed due to ada law

[@natalielomske]

Hopefully it will be!

[@AndreUtrecht]

And what about a wheelchair accessible toilet on an aeroplane?

[@natalielomske]

Hopefully they will start installing those too!

[@AndreUtrecht]

@@natalielomske Yes. Tremendously important …

[@bethduffey247]

Yes! Great question. Just being able to have a power chair fit in a seat slot would not fulfill my dreams of traveling again in an airplane. Would the seat slot be near a toilet? Would the toilet accommodate a portable, folding walker? I cannot begin to imagine an ADA-compliant toilet facility on a plane. This precludes the possibility of travel abroad (9 hours to Tokyo to visit my son). Please keep investigating and letting viewers know what you find out. So appreciate your efforts!

[@natalielomske]

@@bethduffey247 I will definitely keep you all updated!

[@AndreUtrecht]

@@bethduffey247 Indeed... and for many people a walker isn't sufficient enough.... they can't use their legs or lost their legs ...

[@lindahoffman6785]

have you submitted your various concerns & ideas to DOT who is working on this right now? Check with John Sage of Sage Travel.

[@natalielomske]

Thanks for the suggestion!
