Barb - Re: Have you flown with a Elec. chair?

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb,

Do you know if there are such rules, as the below one you gave the

link to, against discrimination when you use transport as an airport

shuttle from one airport to another?

I had real problems the last time when a bus driver refused to take

me because I had wheelchair and luggage. He left me stranded three

times, even if the clerk at the desk called the boss. Finally a

fellow passenger, more or less hijacked the bus, she turned all the

other passengers against the driver and I finally got on my way, and

barely got there in time to reach my plane home from F. Kennedy.

This was a shuttle service from Newark to JFK...

I have to use this service again. I have been in contact with them,

but would feel really good if I had a paper to show the driver if any

problem should arise.

Taking a cab or another service instead, would be very expensive...

Thanks a lot!!!!

Not too familiar with this as I have really only traveled with my manual

chair as I had heard too many horror stories from other EDSers about

traveling with a power chair.
