Plan for needs: Traveling while disabled presents some challenges. Careful planning and investigation prior to booking the trip makes it easier to travel when you have a physical or intellectual disability. Make sure your adaptive equipment will work-may need an electric convertor. Most places do not have curb cuts or wide enough doorways for wheelchairs. Have a plan for how to handle illness while traveling.

Depends: It depends on the type of disability and the resources available at your destination, you should contact the travel company/airline and also the place you are going for your type of disability accommodations, I hope this helps.
