2) Wherever you are planning to go, you should thoroughly research if these places have local disability clinics and if they do you should obtain there telephone numbers, just in case an unexpected incident does occur.

3) You should try and book your trip through a specialist-disabled travel agency; they will be able to sort out everything for you, ranging from accommodation to transport. They will also be able to guide you to all the local destinations on your trip that has wheelchair/disability accessibility. Therefore you will not have to get stressed while on holiday looking for restaurants or any other amenities.

4) If you have trouble flying and you need anything unique, then you should call the airlines to make sure that they can accommodate this for you. You should also mention to the flight attendants when boarding a plane of any medical problems you may have.

5) Try not to travel alone, invite a friend or a family member that can stay with you. If you cannot speak to anyone then ask the specialist agency if they can find someone to travel with you.

6) Do not leave anything down to luck; you should ring up the hotel, airlines and transfers to make sure everything has been correctly booked correctly. Just to make doubly sure you should also check again a week before you are due to travel.

7) Finally you should remember to arrive early when leaving to go on your trip and travelling back. A lot of airports do get quite busy and you do not want to get caught up in a long entailing queue, which will increase stress levels.
Travelling with a disability does not have to be a strenuous task, by planning everything well in advance you will be able to enjoy your trip without anything unexpected occurring.
