Accessibility & disability

  • Airlines and airports offer free assistance (wheelchair, help boarding): request it when you book, at least 48 hours before the flight.
  • Carry your medicines in your hand luggage, in their original boxes, with a prescription or doctor's letter in English.
  • Some medicines that are legal at home (strong painkillers, ADHD or anxiety medicines, codeine) can be restricted: check with the embassy before you go.
  • Ask hotels for photos or details of "accessible" rooms: the word does not mean the same thing everywhere.
  • Guide and assistance dogs follow the same entry rules as pets (microchip, vaccinations): prepare the papers early.
  • Hidden disability? The sunflower lanyard is recognised in many airports to ask discreetly for more time or help.
  • Check plugs and voltage before charging an electric wheelchair or a medical device.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
