Battery-powered mobility devices (wheelchairs/scooters, etc.) will be checked at no additional charge at the gate or ticket counter. Assistive devices must be stowed in compliance with FAA safety regulations. Note that battery-operated wheelchairs and scooters cannot be stowed in the cabin per FAA safety regulations. If any assistive device is unable to comply with FAA regulations, it may be denied for transport.
All fragile and detachable parts (i.e. cushions, arm or leg rests, and side guards) should be removed and stowed within the cabin in an overhead bin.
In some situations, it will be necessary to remove the battery from the wheelchair or mobility device and to package it separately to comply with FAA safety regulations. Refer to the Mobility Aids section of our Restricted Articles list for additional information regarding battery restrictions.
If you have any questions regarding your specific device, email Allegiant’s Disabilities Team at [email protected] with detailed information.
Other Assistive Devices
Other assistive devices, such as canes, crutches, CPAP machines, etc. that can be stowed in the aircraft cabin compliant with FAA safety regulations, will not be counted toward your one carry-on plus one personal item limit. If an assistive device cannot be stored safely in the cabin, we will tag your device and safely transport it in the cargo compartment. If any assistive device is unable to comply with FAA regulations, it may be denied for transport.
