- Comment below with your ideas on what to take when you travel!
Request assistance from your flight company upon check in if you didn't register it when booking. They can take you to your gate and through customs on the arrival. You can get priority boarding so you don't have to wait in line. I usually request priority boarding even if I don't have my wheelchair and I wait til everyone else has gotten off the plane so I can take my time leaving slowly.
Here's an easy copy and paste list for what to pack when you travel:
Carry on
- Mobility aids
- spare clothes
- phone charger
- noise cancelling headphones
- Disposable Earplugs
- Eyemask
- face mask
- Dark sunglasses
- Letters for medications, letter listing your conditions
- Most medications
- Lip balm
- neck pillow
- empty water bottle
- coffee keep up
- glasses
- tablet/laptop
- snacks
- soothers or mint for air pressure
- print out of your destination, passport, plane tickets
- relaxed attitude
Check in baggage
- Mobility aids like wheelchair may require special check-in
- Spare medications
- Whatever tools you need like Sip cup, syringes, urinal, straws, comfort blanket
- Wet wipes
- Print out of itinerary, photocopy of passport
- Regular luggage such as clothes, pyjamas, toiletries, shoes
