Although most airlines recognize these regulations, and allow mobility products to be taken onboard, each airline reserves the right to set forth their own policies. To avoid any unexpected issues at the airport, we highly recommend that you contact the airline in advance, to check their policy towards mobility devices with lithium batteries. It is also possible to ride the Geo Cruiser all the way to the boarding terminal, once there, the unit can be folded and rolled away like luggage by the baggage attendant.
We recommend you download the following documents from our website before traveling, as the airline may request them before allowing the Geo Cruiser onboard.
