Can I keep my wheelchair with me at the airport?
Most of the time you'll be able to keep your own wheelchair until boarding. However, this can depend on the airport and the wheelchair you're taking. If you need to check in your wheelchair, the airport will give you one to use at the airport.
They'll also arrange for you to have assistance from check-in to the plane and, once you've landed, from the plane to the baggage hall to collect your wheelchair. Airport assistance must be pre-booked at least 48 hrs before your flight. You can do so by contacting the Assisted Travel team on 00353 1 6937700.
