Breathlessness

That was lucky you were able to look after him. Horrible to be that I’ll afterwards 

my husband was ill for 2 days after his last jab. I seem to be ok after them 

Hi Ruth and Annette, I hope you don't mind me butting in here. Annette, as you know I have a motorised scooter similar to yours, mine also breaks down into 5 pieces. You also know that I travel to visit our daughter Nicole just outside Peterborough regularly. 

This next part may leave you smiling. I usually travel with easyJet and on occasion with Ryanair. Now this is the important part.  When flying I always take my motorised scooter, it's not counted as an item of luggage. I am registered with both airlines as disabled which you are also I'd guess and it's just a matter of informing them that I am bringing the scooter when booking and you'll be asked exactly the same questions when checking in at the desk (go to the priority lane) and you'll be asked to step forward to the desk as soon as there's an agent free) You need to know the make and model, the weight, the length and sometimes the height when booking, and at the desk which used to annoy me because you'll probably have filled all that when booking. I think that's all. All that info is contained in the manual that comes when purchasing the scooter, if you can't find your manual there'll be information online somewhere. The carriage comes under a separate company which is nothing to do with the airline, they're the ones that load suitcases etc onto and off the plane. 

After parking at the airport, we remove the scooter from the car boot and assemble it, Go to the check in desks and then you'll be asked to go to the disabled area to check in, so they'll be aware you're in the terminal.  (you'll be asked if you're happy to meet the handler at the gate, which I do) and go through security on the scooter, you can remain seated if you wish. you'll be asked to go to the disabled area to check in, so they'll be aware you're in the terminal. You can go right to the bottom of the steps of the aircraft or if you can't manage the steps then the ambulator will take you to the door of the aircraft. Whichever way you do it, the scooter will be loaded into the hold and you next see it at the bottom of the steps when you arrive or it'll be in the ambulator which will take you to the door of the terminal and you'll be escorted as far as the carousel. I'll just add that you'll be last off the flight on arrival. 

Hope this helps Annette, anything else you want to know then just ask and I'll try to help. Some of that might not be in the right order but I think you'll get the gist of it.

Take care
