Trip preparation

Accessible travel planning

Accessible travel works best when transport, accommodation, mobility equipment, medication and assistance requests are confirmed directly with providers.

Describe the needed function

Clear requirements are more useful than vague labels.

Confirm each link in the trip

Airport assistance, transfers, hotel access and local transport can have different providers.

Build time into connections

Assistance procedures can add time.

Keep critical equipment information

Model details, batteries and handling instructions may be important for mobility equipment.

Verify before you go. Weather, entry rules, advisories, transport schedules, prices and local conditions can change. Use this page to structure your decision, then verify the current details that affect your specific trip.
