Special Conditions
We would like to point out that airlines sometimes apply special conditions. For example, the air transport of wheelchairs with wet batteries is generally not allowed (these fall under hazardous substances). There are also sometimes regulations for the dimensions of wheelchairs. In the case of air transport of a wheelchair, these must also be reported to the airline in good time, often no later than 72 hours before departure. Be well informed in advance by the travel agent or airline and consult their websites.
Extra support
Some travelers need some extra support while their disability is hidden and therefore not visible. To discreetly point out to people in the vicinity of the wearer that he or she needs extra explanation or, for example, a little more time, there is the lanyard with the sunflowers. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard has been adopted by a large number of airports and meeting places worldwide. Eindhoven Airport also offers extra support to lanyard wearers.
