Inspired Comforts Toolkit

Travel works with a wheelchair; it just needs more pre-planning. Use for any trip beyond a day.

Trip details

Destination + dates
Mode of travel (air / car / train)
Lodging name + accessibility confirmation

Pre-departure

  • Confirm wheelchair-accessible lodging in writing
  • Confirm accessible transport (car / van / shuttle)
  • If flying: notify airline 48+ hours ahead
  • If flying: gate-check tag for chair, confirm aisle chair if needed
  • Pack: chair maintenance kit (tire pump, basic tools, spare parts)
  • Pack: cushion-cleaning supplies, extra cushion cover
  • Pack: enough catheter / supplies for trip + 50% extra (if applicable)
  • Identify nearest hospital / DME provider at destination

Daily-out planning at destination

  • Map of accessible bathrooms
  • Restaurants pre-checked for accessibility
  • Pace planning — rest in afternoons
  • Backup plan if equipment fails
