I was thinking that we must all have tips that make life easier when travelling with a disability so I thought I'd start with mine.
For quick access and to avoid those endless bits of paper you can text or e-mail your itinerary to your mobile phone, including times of trains and the reference number of assistance booked on the railway.
Programme all assistance numbers into your mobile phone in case things don't go according to plan ie: late flight arrivals or missing a train, they will do their best to help you even at short notice.
A small bag that fastens around your waist is much more convenient for tickets, passport and cash and much less likely to get lost or stolen than a shoulder bag when you're juggling with other luggage and mobility aids.
Happy Travels.
Some good tips there. It's also worth leaving as much info as possible with someone at home e.g. who you're flying with/where you're staying/flight numbers, etc., also your insurer's details and passport details. Just in case any of what you have goes missing, or in the event of an emergency and needing back-up to deal with any overwhelming events.
i always take a doctor's note that explains my disabilities, and the medications that i am taking (also a new prescription, just in case). i also try to make sure i have the best medical insurance i can buy when i travel - our regular policy won't cover much (sigh!)...
