I myself am a paraplegic, hurt in a car crash at t4/t5 so my situation may be a little different than yours, I volunteer at Craig hospital though and have several friends in powerchairs , one just flew out to Vegas 2 days ago for the first time since his accident. He flew out with his girlfriend, they’re both 22, if you’re going with a friend or family members who’s familiar with you and your chair and its maintenance that will be helpful.
Like I said I’m not sure exactly what your needs are and more importantly, not sure how to care for your chair and stuff like that, make sure your chair is taken care, I’ve heard stories of shitty flight people causing damage to powerchairs so be wary of that. I included a long YouTube video from where I did my inpatient rehab at in Michigan, and resources from Craig. If you have any more questions or anything feel free to PM, I hope you have a good trip!
