What is the best way to fly with a rollator?

When flying with a Veloped or Walker, do as follows: 

Don’t pack the Veloped/Walker. Instead, walk with it to the check-in counter. When checking in, tell the staff that you would like to bring your "rollator" into the airport (important that you say “rollator” or “mobility aid”). They put a baggage tag on it, and you bring it through the security control. But note that it's always a good idea to reach out to the airline and let them know your plans to bring the walker all the way to the plane.


Right before you board the aircraft, put the Veloped/Walker to the side, and the staff will load it into the aircraft's luggage compartment. Before you put it aside, fold the frame and lower the handgrips to the bottom position. It may also be a good idea to secure packing material, such as bubble wrap, onto the frame as your mobility aid's handling may vary from airport to airport.

If you do as described, you can bring your full baggage allowance (20–25 kg), as the Veloped/Walker is regarded as a mobility aid and its weight is not included in your luggage. If you pack it and check it in, it will be seen as luggage (about 15–17 kg incl. carton/packaging), limiting the amount of normal luggage you can bring.

  • I am extremely happy with my 'Terminator', thank you.…

    As you may remember I needed to adapt it to have forearm rests instead of handles and found the charity organisation 'Remap' here in the UK who were able to take the forearm rests from an old rollator (an indoor Topro) and put them on my lovely new T…

    The Veloped Trek has enabled me to visit the beach regularly- something I hadn’t been able to do for a long time. I have also been to an outdoor festival and was able to travel around the fields to see the stalls and the bands in the music tents. T…

    I am 50 years old, my spine and joints are barely able to bear weight due to rheumatic and orthopaedic health disorders. In 2022 I also had a stroke with hemiplegia, which has improved somewhat, but I still have very serious limitations. (I am severe…

    All round great/ fantastic unit. Easy to use, and gets around shops etc with very good manoeuvring. Folds up small. Very happy. I find it's pretty good off-road too.

    I also have a three-wheel Trionic Veloped 14er which is more stable and tougher a…

    Delivery very poor. Incompetent driver failed first ‘attempt’ and couldn’t find my door bell, simple enough; on his second ‘deliver without fail’ journey. Miserable performance by your delivery team!…

    It is a great companion that I was allowed to test for 14 days. I can only recommend it to everyone; you can overcome all obstacles with it. I am vision-impaired and because of that I move very uncertainly when outside, but thanks to my faithful comp…

    The people a Veloped have been patient, kind and thorough throughout the process of deciding which one to buy and then starting to use it. I cannot rate them highly enough! And the machine is excellent. No adverse comments at all; just what I wanted …
