The Air Carrier Access Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in air travel and requires air carriers to accommodate the needs of passengers with disabilities.
GOOD TO KNOW INFO:
- Carriers may require up to 48 hours’ advance notice for certain accommodations that require preparation time (e.g., respirator hook-up, transportation of an electric wheelchair on an aircraft with less than 60 seats).
- Carriers may not limit the number of handicapped persons on a flight.
- Escorts and wheelchairs can be arranged to pick up passengers and take you to your next flight or luggage area. (Always remember to tip!)
- You are entitled to two additional complementary items such as a wheelchair, walker, apnea machine, crutches, and cane. They are not considered part of your carry on baggage.
