    Thanks for sharing some useful tips. As a powered wheelchair user my most concern is how it's handled by airport cargo handlers after my wheelchair leaves my sight.

    This might sound stupid, but as a wheelchair user traveling alone - how am I supposed to carry a suitcase around, not only at the airport but when arriving and travel to destination, when using a wheelchair?
    I don't understand how to carry luggage, anybody any answers helps please!?
