It is vital if you are travelling with a disability to take out travel insurance to cover both your flights and holiday period itself. If you are an EU citizen and are travelling within Europe, remember that you can receive basic emergency medical assistance for free if you carry an E111 form. Never assume that the quality of health care will be the same abroad. In particular, be aware that many policies sold by tour operators will not cover individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. Importantly, make sure that your travel insurance policy covers any specialist equipment you may be travelling with i.e. your wheelchair. This should include full replacement in the event that your chair is stolen or damaged. Talk to your travel insurer directly to discuss your needs, and find a policy which provides the necessary cover. The following companies all provide travel insurance policies for travellers with a disability: Age Concern Insurance Services (Garrod Hous

As with all luggage, you should tag your chair with all your contact details, name, address, telephone number and hotel address in the unlikely event that your chair goes missing. Ideally, you should also attach a photocopy of instructions to dismantle to your chair. If your chair requires any special equipment for disassembling, discuss this with the airline in advance so that they accommodate your needs. Remember, even if you are on hand to help with dismantling your chair before departure, it is unlikely that you will be present at the other end of your flight to assist with re-assembly. If you encounter any problems, then you should immediately speak to the 'Complaint Resolution Officer'. All airlines should have a CRO officer available 24hrs a day either by phone or in person, who is trained to deal with any problems a disabled flyer may encounter whilst travelling. Disabled travellers in the U.S. can order a free booklet from the U.S. Department

Just because you need to travel with oxygen, need not restrict the opportunities to travel it just takes a little bit more planning. Flying with Disability offers you the following advice to ensure a safe, happy flight. Travellers who require oxygen for medical use are, unfortunately, subject to a charge per bottle. This rate varies between airline, and can be quite expensive. You will need to contact the airline at least 48hrs prior to flying to advise the flow rate, and to get full medical clearance, though this tends to be minor technicality. In the US the FAA requires a physicians statement outlining your needs for oxygen. Please note though that some airlines require 7 days notice, so we recommend that you check with your airline as soon as you know that you are flying to avoid any complications. You will be able to carry your own oxygen cylinders for a flight, though these cylinders must be empty with the intention of filling and using them at your destina

Flying with a disability entitles you to a range of information services about your journey, so that you can plan your trip and as best as possible. Planning ahead is essential if you are a disabled traveller, given the number of additional barriers you are likely to encounter. The best way to ensure and safe and hassle-free flight, is to plan ahead. Access to a range of information - such as the provision for disabled facilities is, therefore, fundamental to planning your flight. You should always check to see if there are any limitations to the aircraft itself, question whether it will be able to accommodate you. Inside the aircraft think about what facilities you will need. Does the aircraft have movable seats for wheelchairs, can your wheelchair be stored on the plane or in the cargo bay? Is there access to the toilet for disabled travellers. Airlines should always be able to answer these queries, and if not immediately, be willing to get back to you once

On the day of flying always arrive as early as possible. Even if you are embarking on a long-haul flight, and the prospect of spending even more time at the airport may be unappealing, having the extra time to organize everything is essential. Flying with Disability strongly recommends that you use gel or foam filled batteries to power your chair. Normal acid filled batteries can be used to fly, though security staff will be required to remove them, whereupon they will be specially packed for the duration of the flight. Manual fold up wheelchairs can actually be stowed in the on board coat closet, though there will only be room for one wheelchair. Airlines work on a first-come, first served basis for the storage of wheelchairs on board If you cannot secure this space, the airline will store your chair with the main luggage. This will not affect your luggage allowance. If you have a connecting flight, take into account that you are likely to be the last to leave

Advanced planning is always essential. Planning a trip is always a hectic time, with so many things to organize at once, it is easy to forget something. Here at Flying With Disability  we have compiled a quick checklist of things to take into account when planning your trip regarding your health. Consult your doctor about: Your need for immunizations To ensure that you have all the prescriptions you will need for the duration of your trip (and some spare for emergencies) All the medical equipment you might need, and any spare parts you might need in an emergency. Recommendations for any non-prescription medications you might need such as pain killers, sun lotion, laxatives, spare glasses etc. How to get medical assistance when you are away. Contact addresses for nearby hospitals etc., emergency telephone numbers and quality of health care in the country you are visiting. Consult your travel agent about: What special assistance you can expect from the h

A medical certificate is a statement of health from the traveller's doctor outlining that the passenger is capable of completing the flight without extra medical care. Airlines need not request a medical certificate, based solely on the fact that the traveller is disabled. An airline may, however, request a medical certificate is there is reasonable concern that medical assistance will be necessitated. This situation may arise if you are flying in a stretcher or incubator, will require medical oxygen for a section of the flight or have a special medical condition which concerns the airline that you will not be able to complete the flight without extraordinary medical assistance. Those travelling with a communicable disease will also need to get a medical certificate, demonstrating that the infection will not effect any of the airline's crew or passenger during the flight. An airline's priority is the safety of all its passengers, and if a medical certif
