Question about flying with my sons wheelchair

[laurac22]

Hi we will be flying out to Fort Lauderdale to cruise in April. My son has a wheelchair that is both Manual and power depending on which set of wheels you put on. We plan to take both sets of wheels and would like to keep both sets with us and have them checked at the gate when we board the plane. Does anyone know if that is possible? I would be scared to have them checked and out of our sight. If anything happened to them it would be a serious problem. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks

I think, your best bet is to check with the airline, there shouldn't be any problem :confused: ;)

We always check my son's scooter and chair at the gate, no problems.

Thank you for the responses. I guess I will check with the airline just so there are no surprises.
