Providing an accurate luggage count helps us determine whether the trip can be safely accommodated without interfering with wheelchair securement, passenger seating, exits, or the driver’s visibility.

Power wheelchair transportation may be available after confirming the wheelchair’s dimensions, combined weight, maneuverability, battery type, lift requirements, and securement compatibility.
