If you are using your own wheelchair, inform your airline about the dimensions and weight of the wheelchair. If you are using an electric wheelchair, please specify the battery types when making your reservation. Gel and dry batteries can stay in the wheelchair, but must be secured and disconnected before checking in. The poles may also have to be insulated. Special terms of carriage apply for wet batteries, as these are classified as hazardous goods. Please enquire accordingly directly with your airline.

Dogs accompanying those with reduced mobility are very welcome at the airport, but, of course, they must remain on the lead. If your dog is to accompany you on your trip, please enquire in advance with your airline about the conditions for taking them with you, as strict quarantine regulations could affect your dog entering your country of destination. You should ask your airline in good time before your trip, whether or not your wishes can also be considered with your reservation.
