Hello Annelise -

When making your reservation, tell them that you have parkinson and will need a wheelchair for each leg of your trip. Some airlines have a form to fill out. The attendants take care of everything up to getting you on the
plane. There is no charge here in the States - so a tip
is nice.

Tell the flight crew that you have pd and ask that they check to make sure a wheelchair is waiting for you. By all means, take advantage of special services provided or the airlines will stop providing them.

One more thought - be sure you have your meds in your handbag so that the are available when you need them.

Hope you have a wonderful visit -

Dottie
