10 flying tips for amputees, worth a read before your next trip
Good piece over on Living With Amplitude featuring Jane Rogers, who started gathering flying tips after a rough first trip in a wheelchair. That included a stranger in the TSA line telling her off, and an airport worker accidentally tipping her out of her chair. She turned those experiences into a practical list.
A few that stood out:

It is seeming like I should just not even try to bring the power assist part so that my chair will not have a battery at all. These airports all seem to make everything difficult when there is a battery involved. It would…
