Frances144 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Has anyone had any experience of taking a zimmer frame on Flybe? I would be in a wheelchair but my zimmer frame is a useful piece of kit as I can't master crutches (non weight bearing with spinal injury too). Any thoughts appreciated.

wabbit Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Are you flying Loganair from/to Sumburgh. If so, you can check it in for no charge, or have it 'valet tagged' so you can take it to the aircraft steps or on the ambulift with you. Once you're onboard the zimmer will go in the baggage hold. Once you reach your destination the zimmer will be brought to the steps or ambulift for you.. Edited September 19, 2013 by wabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Thanks. I was also wondering whether they would carry it while they wheeled me to my taxi or do I, because I have brought my own wheelchair, have to do the wheeling?
