Right then, this is part two of the thread, released on Tuesday about what it is like for me to go abroad on holiday. This is my personal experience and may not reflect the experiences of other disabled people. We will start from where one left off. 1
Boarding the plane can be either easy or complicated. It is much easier if the gate and the plane are connected via an Air Bridge, meaning I can be wheeled right up to the door of the plane. If not, it's the more complicated method: the 'Magic Bus'. 2
The Magic Bus is a vehicle that allows people who cannot walk up (or down) the plane steps to get onto the plane via a platform that is carefully raised to be level with one of the plane doors, either the front or the back, depending on the airline.3

Ok, you lovely lovely people asked for it, so here it is. A thread on what it's like for me as a wheelchair user with practically no independent movement to go on holiday abroad. Part one will cover background info and The airport experience. 1
We start with some background. When I go on holiday, I go with my parents. They are completely fundamental not only to my life but also to this thread. Furthermore, I don't take my massive electric wheelchair with me, I have a manual one, which I use for places...2
That are not conducive to the use of a big heavy machine. (Spoiler. Depending on where you go, that can be practically everywhere) . Also, it is important to note that some airlines do not allow electric wheelchairs on board due to the weight and lithium iron battery.3
