Conquering the Unfriendly Skies

Presented at the SCI Wellness Summit May 18, 2024

This is the third of four presentations from the 2024 Summit around the theme, On The Road Again. Kenny Salvini, Here and Now Project, and Jeremy Hannaford, Seattle Slam Wheelchair Rugby, discuss air travel for wheelchair users. From the perspective of both a power and manual chair user, they cover their flying process including preflight, at the airport, at the gate, transferring/boarding, onboard, arrival, and if/when damage occurs to your equipment. This is an informative presentation for anyone who travels as a wheelchair user or it ready to start!
