    Thanks for sharing some useful tips. As a powered wheelchair user my most concern is how it's handled by airport cargo handlers after my wheelchair leaves my sight.

    I've flown a dozen or more times. Yes, it sucks if your chair gets broken....but even worse is when it didn't make it onto the 2nd plane after a quick layover!!

    This might sound stupid, but as a wheelchair user traveling alone - how am I supposed to carry a suitcase around, not only at the airport but when arriving and travel to destination, when using a wheelchair?
    I don't understand how to carry luggage, anybody any answers helps please!?

    They should be able to create new airplanes that are ada compliant.
