Who Should Use Air France Wheelchair Assistance?

This service isn’t only for passengers with disabilities — it’s available to any traveler who has trouble walking long distances or standing for extended periods. This includes:

Elderly travelers
People with broken limbs or recent surgeries
Expecting mothers in later stages of pregnancy
Travelers with neurological, muscular, or cardiovascular conditions
Individuals using wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids

No medical documentation is typically required, but early communication helps ensure the right support is arranged.

How to Book Wheelchair Assistance

To guarantee proper arrangements, you must request wheelchair assistance at least 48 hours before departure. The earlier you inform Air France of your needs, the better they can accommodate you at every step of your journey. You can request the service during your online booking or after purchasing your ticket. For the fastest and most reliable service, it’s best to speak directly with a representative by calling +1–888–738–0817. The customer service team will ask a few simple questions about your mobility requirements and confirm all arrangements. If you're flying with a travel companion, be sure to mention that too, so seating can be arranged accordingly.

Traveling with Your Own Wheelchair

If you use a personal wheelchair or mobility device, Air France allows you to bring it at no extra cost. Manual and electric wheelchairs are permitted, though advance notice is required for electric models to handle battery regulations safely. Personal wheelchairs can usually be taken right up to the aircraft door before being stowed. Upon arrival, it will be returned to you either at the aircraft or baggage claim, depending on airport logistics.

What About In-Flight Assistance?

During the flight, Air France cabin crew are trained to assist passengers with mobility needs. Aisle chairs are available on long-haul flights for movement within the cabin, including trips to the lavatory. However, flight attendants cannot provide medical care or physical lifting, so passengers needing extensive in-flight help are encouraged to travel with an assistant.

Upon Arrival

When you land, the wheelchair assistance continues. An airport agent will meet you at the aircraft and escort you through immigration, help with baggage collection, and assist with ground transportation or transfer to your next flight. If you're making a connection, support is available during layovers as well.

Travel With Confidence

Air France’s commitment to accessibility is not just a service—it’s part of their mission to make global air travel inclusive. By offering thorough, compassionate support for passengers with reduced mobility, they ensure that everyone can travel with confidence, comfort, and dignity.
