I just purchased a mobility scooter that was advertised as airline friendly. It uses 12V/12AH-2 batteries and folds up to pull like a suitcase. The scooter is 20" wide, 33" long and 41" high when folded. It weighs 88.18 pounds. From what I have read online, I can ride it to the jetway and have SWA take it to the cargo hold for the trip. I believe I could take it on the plane as well, but would need help lifting it to the overhead compartment, if allowed.
I have a connecting flight in BWI with a 2 1/2 hour layover so that would give us enough time to wait for the scooter in the waiting area of the arriving flight and take it to the next gate.
Is there anything I need to make the use of the scooter easy on all parties? My flight departs next Monday from Dallas Love Field. Thank you.
