Travelling alone

For safety reasons, airlines are entitled to require that you travel with a companion if you are not ‘self-reliant’. To travel alone, you must be able to:

  • Unfastening your seat belt.
  • Leaving your seat and reaching an emergency exit.
  • Donning an oxygen mask and lifejacket.
  • Understanding the safety briefing and any instructions given by the crew in emergency situations.

Airline cabin crew are not able to provide personal care, so if you need help with feeding, breathing, using medication or using the toilet you will also need to travel with a companion.

Seating on the plane

Airlines should allow you to choose the seat most suitable for your needs. However, people with reduced mobility are not allowed to sit in seats where they may obstruct access to emergency exits.
