Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Oh my... I only wish something like this were available in Europe. I have a Permobil chair. I have to switch into a much more uncomfortable travel chair simply because it is nearly impossible and very risky to load the Permobil into the cargo hold. I fly a lot - four to six times a year.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 This sounds amazing. They must have tapped into some sort of grant funding to make this work economically.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 All I can say is: AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! We flew to Vegas in April, paid almost $500/person, and watched h be miserable in those seats for hours. We had decided that flying was no longer an option for h because the 3 1/2 hour flight was so hard on her. If this really " takes off " (forgive the pun *LOL*) then according to the site our tickets to Vegas would be roughly $192/person and h could fly in her chair and be comfy!!!!!!!! We're thinking a trip to New York for a Broadway show would be cool for a 13th b-day ;0) Love and Hugs Jeni Air Travel for PWD's Has anyone seen this?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I've seen " PWD " used to refer specifically to power wheelchair users, and I guess that's how I have used it. I always thought it stood for something like Power Wheelchair Driver, although that doesn't sound right. Am I wrong? > > > In a message dated 9/20/2007 3:17:29 P.M.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I contacted them a few months ago. I'm not sure they've actually tapped into the necessary funds. They told be it'd be 3 years before they're up and running. Seems like the airlines would be happy to subsidize them to avoid dealing with us and our complicated chairs.
