This video is featuring some great hints for traveling with a wheelchair:

1. Get Airport services guide for people with disabilities. Every airport has something. Some have a special lounge for the disabled, special parking lots and lower rates for everything.

2. Be there at least an hour before the flight. Check your luggage and then go directly to the gate.

3. Make sure to get a gate tag on your chair.

4. Go around the metal detector.

5. Make sure you don’t board after everybody else. Ask for a preeboard option.

6. If wheelchair car rental service is in the airport hall they bring your rented car or van directly to the airport. Otherwise you might have to take a train or a bus.

7. Have fun!
