Can you take the scooter on an airplane...will they gate check it like a wheel chair?

I would assume they would gate check it just like a stroller or wheelchair, can't see any reason why not. Remember that you will still have to have a way to get to your airplane seat once they take it away.... crutches or wheelchair.

i have never flown with the scooter but i see no reason why it would not be allowed as the handle bars fold back over the seat and it would be easier to store than a wheel chair. this scooter filled my needs to a "t" when i had foot surgery, it is well built and easy to use.

Yes, it can be brought to the gate. Just be sure to fold it up completely just before you get on the plane. It absolutely does not need to be checked.

Yes. This is from the manual "This child seat is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the U. S. And Canada will allow the use of a child seat as long as it is labeled as an approved child seat for use in aircraft and fits properly on the aircraft seat. Contact the airline about their policy prior to traveling." I have not used mine on a plane, but it recommends installing it in a window seat position and if the seatbelt on the plane is too short, the attendant should be able to provide an extender. Also, if the lap belts are inflatable (never have seen that) they are not compatible with his child seat. Hope this helps!

I purchased this stroller just for trips. It comes with a shoulder strap. However, on the 1st flight when we retrieved it from gate check, the plastic attachment was broken-so couldn't "carry" it. It wasn't a very comfortable strap anyway. Before returning home, I purchased a quality camera strap with metal attachments. It worked perfectly-and didn't get broken at gate check.

Yes. It is a bit big but they will let you use it on most airplanes. At the very least, they will allow you to gate check it for free. Check with the airline - you have to call them anyway to let them know that you're traveling with infants.

Hello,I have heard on some rare occasions that an airline will allow this on the plane, but I would not count on that. They will be happy to gate check it for you though.Thanks!

When traveling last year with our scooter chair, The airline (Us Air) placed the batteries in a "special" compartment. We were told they needed to be in a different area of the plane. I would imagine any batteries, sealed or not of the larger variety will not fly as "regular" luggage. They did not charge us any extra however to fly with the scooter or their batteries.

Check your With the Airline your flying with. , TSA may confiscate It Before You Board. I'm not saying its a weapon.,Lol But those Guys / Gals can be a little Crazy.

Yea as long as you buy a luggage rack for your scooter. it's pretty much universal.

Absolutely. One of the only things that is good about needing a mobility scooter is that it gets you through the TSA security lines quickly and you can drive right up to the departure gate. The Plane ground crew will then take it down into the baggage section and when you arrive at your destination, bring it up for you. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Solutions

I don't think so unless it is a very large piece of luggage. I would box it up and either ship it or see if you can take it on the plane.

As far as I can tell, yes you can take it on the airplane, but it has to be stored in the cargo compartment. For specific rules about when you need to check it in, I would call the airline you are planning to fly; i.e. Delta will allow you to use it to the gate and check it in just as you get it on the plane. http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/special-travel-needs/disabilities.html They do have a form you need to complete and attach to the chair while traveling.However, other airlines may have different regulations, so either check their website of give them a call.Hope this helps and happy travels.

Absolutely! We just wheel me up to the airplane door, my husband folds the chair in half ( easy Peasy) and we leave it right there with the baby buggies. Those items are brought up almost immediately after the plane reaches the gate. Unfold, and you're off! My chair has traveled all over Europe and is still in great shape.

We bring it right down the jetway and gate check it like you would a stoller. We carry my cushion onboard and we have never had a problem.

I have never flown with mine but my son who is a travel agent says as above they will help you on the plane and store your scooter with the luggage.

yes! We just flew (November 2015) and we were able to gate check it each time. When you get to TSA, they take out the car seat and swipe it/test it for chemicals. Nothing will fit through the scanner. It was not a big deal at all. However, the airline took it down to the carousel on one of the flights and the entire wheel and casing was sheared off.
