SHARE THEIR BEST “HACKS”

Ashley Lyn Olson Hack 2: Consider a folding manual:
A lot of manual wheelchairs fold in half. Once the leg rests are removed, the chair will fit in an airline jet’s closet.
“Airlines are legally required to store the chair on board if it fits in the closet.
Some crews are reluctant, but it’s the law,” says Ashley.
Hack 3: Educate, educate, educate
“Quickly, firmly and politely educate the person taking your wheelchair from the gate downstairs to store in the plane’s cargo hold that it is a costly piece of equipment and that it is your legs,” says Ashley.
They must understand what your wheelchair means to you.
