Advantages: none

Disadvantages: lots

I have never found an airline carrier I am entirely happy with as a wheelchair user and trust to carry my wheelchair. Also, as my legs do not bend very much this can sometimes be a problem when flying. Things I have learnt from my experience: ALWAYS pre-book any additional assistance you need, making it clear what assistance you need at what stage. If you require special seating or to be seated with your companion, state this at the time of booking. Be prepared to put your equipment back together or travel with someone who can do this. The American companies seem best, as their disability laws are the most stringent in the world.
