MemberReply to Wheelchair at airport
Hello again Gimom!
I haven’t rented a wheelchair myself so I’m not sure if an airport delivery is available for many companies, it may be only through a limited number of them.

From Spore, we can go to Johor Bahru (one of the nearest Malaysia city) by bus, 1 hour. Or go to Batam & Bintan island (Indonesia) by ferry, 1 hour too. Totally can be done in a day trip although I always prefer to stay at least 1 night 😊

I’ve never flown in/out of Canada, but it’s about time the government does something about the accessibility of the airlines there. I have a friend who flies out of Calgary a lot on WESTJET and that carrier loses, damages, or delays his medical equipment every single time. He has more patience than me. If that happened to me, the police would…
