Anyone have any tips for the airplane traveller who uses a powered wheelchair or 3-wheeled mobility scooter?
Everyone knows about the SHOT show next year, but I may end up travelling to California this summer to appear on a TV infomercial. The travel expenses would be paid by the infomercial producers, so that isn't going to be an issue. What may be an issue though, is this big electric wheelchair I need to get around in.
Anyone here know what the airline's service record is for getting those things to and from their destinations intact? I've heard more horror stories about broken/mutilated/destroyed mobility equipment than all other airline claims combined, and I don't want my chair (or scooter, if that's what I decided to configure it as) to become the next statistic, because I have no insurance to replace it with if it becomes destroyed.
Tips, advice, anything's welcome.
Sorry, I can't reveal the details on which infomercial I might be on until after it's been shot.
