Tips on Traveling with wheelchairs

The conditions for people that use wheelchairs have improved tremendously when traveling.  Here are some tips to help you have the most seamless travel experience...

-Know your rights - the Air Carrier Access Act was passed by Congress to help ensure that people with disabilities are not discriminated against during air travel.  This act says that all domestic and international flight with the U.S. as the origin or destination are required to provide certain accommodations to those with disabilities, free of charge.

-Pick the right airline - Although all U.S. airlines are bound under the Air Carrier Access Act some airlines do a better job than others.  Before you book your flights do a search on the internet or a social network to see if there is any negative feedback floating around. 

-Choose the Best Seat - If it is not an option to get an upgraded seat then turn to SeatGuru to assist you in getting the most comfortable economy seat for you. 

-Talk to your Airline - Once you have booked your reservations give your airlines customer service number a call and confirm that all of your special requests are noted in your record

Thanks On Call International for such great tips!
