Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I'm currently waiting for my Triride and bespoke wheelchair (I'm a 20 stone 6ft male) and your video has given me confidence in it. My biggest concern is the foot room ill have with my left foot. I'm a BTK amputee and because of restrictions on my leg angle, (I find it difficult to keep my leg at 90 degrees and further back, for long periods. The demo model the guy brought round was too small for me and the front wheel caught my left trainer shoe when the steering was on full lock. Thanks again Abi.

They just put it in it own container, which means less chance of damage. Hope that helps.

      Hi, there will be a video coming soon on this. However in summary the cruise ship was great and easily accessible. Getting off the ship was a bit tricky and it wasn’t fully lip free but they are willing to help. Biggest thing is that if you are wheelchair user that cannot walk at all or used an electric wheelchair you cannot get off on tenders with Virgin. Hope that helps

As this is my first flight with Virgin Atlantic . I filled in the MEDIF and have hospital letters I also have to inject with fragmin which are pre filled . I need to be near the toilet due to my condition I am so scared . Please can you give me some advice . I’m under special assist my husband is my carer too. Please advise as I’m worried . This is my first holiday since the issue that happened to me ?

    • @abievans
      @abievans 3 місяці тому

      Hi, thank you for your comment. Firstly, well done on taking the step to book your first trip. That alone can be hard. You may have seen my Virgin Atlantic video? Regarding special assistance etc. if you can walk to far it may be helpful to hire a wheelchair or even invest in a light weight folding wheelchair (drive do a good travel one) this way you can use it in the airport and in holiday. For the seat ring Virgin and tell them you need a bulkhead seat next to toilet so you can have you bag by your feet and are near the toilet. Regarding medications etc if you have letter you will be fine, take enough it your hand luggage for 2 days extra just incase. If you have any specific questions please ask and I will try to answer them. I hope you have a great trip!

      Hi, so exciting that you are going to Iceland, nice to of year to go too. Not to cold! When I was there I used the pavements mainly and bike lane here and there. It was pretty accessible and if you have a Triride I can’t foresee you have any issue with cobbles etc. Only slight issue I had was restaurants having steps. I had some people with me who would lift me but if that isn’t possible there are plenty that are wheelchair friendly. Any other questions please ask. Have great time.

    I always read that disabled people, using a wheelchair, have to book a train ride 1 hour in advance through the app or by telephone. As I understand, there is no level entry on older sprinters and intercity trains, so they have to put in a moveable ramp. I sometimes saw a ramp chained to a column on the platform which needs to be put in place by the ‘conducteur’ (train surveillant and ticket controller, don’t know the English name for it, I don’t think it is conductor, which would be the obvious one) or a train company travel assistant, when a train stops. The new Sprinters and Intercity trains have level boarding though.

    • @abievans
      @abievans Рік тому

      Hi, That’s sounds great, it is something that takes a while to get used to that’s for sure. My top 3 tips would have to be: 1. Have a clear letter detailing everything you are taking through security. This way you can hand that over and they can look at everything you have and match it to what is listed in the letter. 2. Anything Medical can go in the hold for free. Take a letter saying you need this equipment and go to check in. They will check as many medical bags as you have - I always find it best to have these bags marked with medical equipment stickers. 3. Planned for the unexpected - we all hope that airline won’t loose our medical baggage but it can happen, so take enough feed in you’re carry on for at least your day of travel and 1/2 more. Bonus: if you are on a continuous feed, don’t sit in exit row or bulk head. As you can’t have anything on you’re person or by your feed during take off and landing. You will have to disconnected and reconnect after take off and again before landing. Good luck with the blog. Abi
