Can a folding wheelchair get on the plane?

Many people with physical disabilities want to fly, but they don't know if the wheelchair can get on the plane. Now let's introduce it.

There are no disabled seats on the plane, and disabled passengers can't get on the plane in their own wheelchairs.

Passengers in wheelchairs should apply when buying tickets. When changing boarding passes, some people will use special aviation wheelchairs (the dimensions are suitable for use on the plane, and there are fixed devices and seat belts for flight use) to change the passenger's wheelchairs. The passenger's wheelchairs must be checked in free of charge; There is a special wheelchair access during security check.

After getting on the plane, there is a special place for the wheelchair to stop, where the wheelchair can be fixed.

It should be noted that when disabled people with flight conditions need medical oxygen, electric wheelchair, narrow wheelchair and other facilities or services provided by airlines on the plane, they should put forward it at the time of booking, no later than 72 hours before the flight takes off.

Therefore, people with disabilities should pay attention to consulting airlines as early as possible before booking tickets, so that airlines can coordinate and prepare. Disabled people should arrive at the airport more than 3 hours in advance on the day of taking the plane, so that they can have more time to apply for boarding pass, check luggage, check security, and board the plane. At the same time, they can also cope with special circumstances such as flight schedule change.
