Do Destination Research  

Knowledge is the key for accessible tourism! Research potential destinations, hotels, and transportation for amputee-friendly features. Moreover, check if attractions have ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms. Confirm accessibility details by calling venues. Connect with the amputee travel community for insider tips!

Book Accessible Hotels

When reserving hotels, explicitly request an accessible room – roll-in showers, grab bars, and lowered amenities. Preview room photos and reconfirm accessibility at check-in. For cruises, leverage accommodation staff expertise to ensure an accessible experience.

Rent Mobility Equipment

Extended walking can drain energy quickly. Therefore, rent a wheelchair, scooter, or sturdy all-terrain crutches to combat fatigue. Companies can deliver mobility aids to your destination. However, pack backup prosthetic supplies like liners and socks.

Master Accessible Air Travel

Arrive early for curbside check-in/skycap service. Additionally, notify staff about assistance needs and pre-board for extra time boarding. Carry meds, a change of clothes, and essentials in case of mobility equipment issues.

Embrace Spontaneity  

Plan logistics, but leave room for spontaneous detours! Approach obstacles with an adventurous spirit – positivity works wonders. Don’t hesitate to ask locals for an extra hand when needed.

The Bottom Line? Smart planning and creativity enable unstoppable adventures despite being an amputee traveler! We’re here to help with any other accessible travel questions.  

Forge ahead with that travel bucket list, revel in breathtaking destinations, and create unforgettable memories!
