Door to Door: a travel guide for disabled people

Going by air: On the aircraft

Planning ahead | Sources of information | Airline assistance | Travelling abroad with your assistance dog | Insurance | Getting to and from the airport | At the airport | Boarding the aircraft | On the aircraft | Aircraft seating | Aircraft toilets | Taking equipment with you | Help with costs

On the plane you will need to be able to attend to your own personal needs (e.g. feeding) or have a companion with you. Cabin crew can provide some assistance, but are not allowed to lift passengers in and out of seats during the flight.
