Choosing a Travel Agent

First, ask your friends with disabilities for referrals, then ask other friends friends. Getting a good recommendation could help you avoid novice agents and/or those who know nothing about disabilities. Visit at least two of the agencies and interview the agents about their knowledge of your chosen destination(s). Veteran agents are more likely to remember a hotel with an elevator or recall a museum s access. But remember, travel agents are there to book hotels and flights, not to measure bathroom doors.

Top Packing

Traveling with a disability takes a great deal of planning. First, decide what you need on a daily basis but on a much smaller scale. If you are an ambulatory traveler, try to manage with just one carry-on piece of luggage. If you re a wheelchair traveler, take an additional carry on for wheelchair parts, charger, etc. and a wheelchair backpack. If you do use a wheelchair, take the narrowest one you can find. If you can cope without a motor chair, your luggage will be minimal. If not, you might want to consider a motor add-on device that fits your lightweight chair. Major chair parts can be on-board with you at all times, and you needn t be concerned about mishandling in the airplane baggage department. Let your batteries travel in the cargo after being boxed and labeled. New wheelchair batteries are also essential if you re taking a power chair. The airlines love gel cells. But the manufacturers tend to pack them to resemble a suspicious looking package, so get used to being searched. (Source: Global Access - A Network for Disabled Travelers) orlando travel

Health and Taking an Attendant

Traveling can be a tiring experience even if you re in the best of health. If you require medication, take extra bottles along and a written prescription from your doctor. Also, taking along an able-bodied friend or attendant will make your trip a lot smoother, especially if you plan to use rental cars and hand controls aren t available. If your disability requires a lot of personal care, don t travel with anyone who is not familiar with your needs. (Source: Global Access - A Network for Disabled Travelers) hilton hotel
