Hello, This is my first time traveling with a motorized mobility scooter like the PRIDE GOGO. I will be traveling internationally on different foreign carriers like Air Canada, Lufthansa and Silverseas.

I am looking for an authorization letter that quotes the FDA that scooters are a class 2 medical device and may be taken on trips and does not count as luggage. I have something like this for my CPAP and diabetes supplies and have googled all over and not been able to find it.

I know it may not be necessary but with international airlines I think it is better to have a piece of paper as a backup. Any assistance would be much appreicated. Sincerely, broken foot and ankle guy 😟

I have RA that caused deformities in my hands and feet, so my abilities are limited. I haven’t traveled in years and would like to. I don’t have anyone to travel with, but I’m ok with that. My concerns are I may need help with my mobility scooter and it getting damaged. How realistic is this life of being a disabled solo travel? Any tips or resources is appreciated.
