Important Things to Think About When Using a Wheelchair

In addition to their checked luggage, passengers flying with Emirates Airlines are permitted to bring a wheelchair for free. Canes, crutches, walkers, scooters, and manual and electric wheelchairs, whether collapsible, folding, or non-folding, are all covered by this regulation. At the airport, travelers can also ask for a wheelchair. Wheelchair users should get to the airport at least an hour ahead of the regular check-in time. Additionally, wheelchair requests must be submitted by passengers no later than 48 hours prior to the departure of their aircraft. 

What time should I arrive at the airport? 

Travelers who have requested wheelchair assistance from the airline are required to arrive at the airport at least four hours prior to the departure of the flight. This allows enough time for the airline to help passengers board the aircraft and conveniently and comfortably assist them with security procedures and check-in.
