If you are in a wheelchair it can be stressful when going on holiday with all the worry about whether you will be able to access everything you want to see. This has all been thought out by people who provide you with wheelchair holidays.
The first thing that many wheelchair users are not aware of is that they are able to take their equipment on an airplane without having to worry about the weight restrictions. Equipment needed for disability is not counted, so you are still able to take just as many clothes and shoes as everyone else.
You will also find that as long as the airport knows of your needs before your flight they will make sure that you are seated before the other passengers to make sure you do not have to worry about being knocked by others.
The same will happen when you reach your destination so that you can be the first of the plane as well as anyone you may be traveling with.
You can travel all over the world, see the Eiffel tower in Paris or see the pyramids of Egypt, anywhere you wish is within your reach, and you will find that there is accommodation that will meet your needs.
The rooms set aside for people who use a wheelchair are big enough for you to get around, as well as if you request you will be able to get a shower with a seat that you are able to wash in without the need to stand.
Accommodation is available for people who are able to get from the wheelchair without aid, and for those who will need assistance.
When it comes to sightseeing accessibility for those who depend on a wheelchair means that it is much easier to get to the places you need to as well as transportation that is big enough to fit in any equipment you may need.
You can get accommodation in a hotel or have your own holiday home which will be at ground level with no stairs so that you are able to independently get around while you are there. It will mean that you are fully catered for so all you have to do is relax and enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge that everything has been dealt with beforehand.
You do not have to be apart from others if you wish to go with family and friends. You can find an apartment or other kind of holiday home that will suit everyone in your group. If there are a lot of people in your group you could make sure that you are given the downstairs room and that there are toilet facilities that allow you access with your chair. Make sure that there are two toilets in the accommodation so that you can spend as long as you wish, with an en-suite bathroom.
You can also go on the excursions that some of the package holidays provide, as the holiday is planned out especially with you in mind, meaning that there will be all the facilities you need for your day trip.
