Once my wheelchair is taken from me at the airplane door, there’s not much I can do to guide how it is handled. It’s frustrating but if you are able to do what you can to provide notes, it can only be helpful.
I decided the best way to do this is create a one page document, print it, and annotate it in order to communicate the important things about my chair. Then I tape it to the seat so that it’s under my cushion. After I’m transferred off my chair and take my cushion, the instructions are right there.
Here’s a scan of my document:
I’ve received positive feedback from cargo teams who say they couldn’t have figured out how to manually push the chair. Every little bit helps!
