We are happy to carry up to two pieces of mobility equipment at no additional cost. This is in addition to your baggage allowance.
Mobility equipment can include mobility scooters, manual or electric wheelchairs, walking aids and any other item that assists mobility. For restrictions on carriage and charges relating to sporting items please see the Exceptional Baggage Items page.
Wheelchairs and Scooters
We are currently unable to accept mobility equipment powered by wet cell batteries.
Owing to health and safety, we endeavour to minimise the weight of items being lifted by airport staff and baggage handlers. Therefore if your electric wheelchair cannot be dismantled into pieces weighing less than 30kg please contact us so that we may endeavour to arrange carriage.
