American Airlines is committed to delivering a comfortable and accessible travel experience for all passengers, including those with reduced mobility. The American Airlines Wheelchair Assistance service ensures personalized, respectful, and timely support throughout every step of the journey. Passengers requiring mobility assistance can request support during the ticketing process—online, via a travel agent, or by contacting American Airlines' reservations team. For the best coordination, it’s advised to submit the request at least 48 hours before departure. At the airport, trained staff are available to help passengers with check-in, guide them through security checkpoints, and assist with navigating terminals to reach their boarding gates with ease. The airline offers priority services, ensuring reduced wait times and a more relaxed travel experience. Baggage assistance is also available, with mobility devices like manual or electric wheelchairs transported free of charge. These devices are handled with care to ensure they arrive safely and promptly at the destination. Up-to-date flight information is provided, keeping passengers informed of gate changes, delays, or boarding times. Priority boarding is offered so passengers have extra time to settle in before takeoff. Once onboard, American Airlines’ crew is trained to assist with seating, storage of mobility aids, and in-flight comfort. Upon arrival, assistance continues through disembarkation, customs, baggage claim, and transfers. The airline’s responsive customer support team is available around the clock to address any needs or questions. With American Airlines Wheelchair Assistance, travelers experience a seamless, respectful journey designed around comfort, accessibility, and care.
