Traveling with a wheelchair and power scooter, tips and advice?

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Hi My mom is totally disabled and cannot walk at all. We are planning to go on vacation from Newark to Hawaii, and there is a plane change in Chicago. I have never traveled by air before, and we plan on taking my moms wheel chair, and power scooter. I need tips and advice for this.

Can we bring both on the airplane, if not can we bring one of the items.
How can she get to/use the bathroom.
Do we have to book the items as baggage
During the plane change will she have access to her wheelchair/scooter so she can transfer planes
Any other tips for traveling with this stuff
