You can bring the Veloped on any flight at no charge, as it is registered as a mobility aid. Don’t pack the Veloped, 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 tag on it, and you bring it through the security control. Right before you board the aircraft, you put the Veloped to the side and the staff then loads it into the luggage compartment of the aircraft.

If you bring some 'bubble plastic sheet' you can wrap the frame to protect it.

We recommend detaching the front climbing wheel and bringing it into the cabin as hand luggage.

If you do as described above, you can bring your full baggage allowance (20–25 kg), as the Veloped 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), which limits the amount of normal luggage that you can bring.

When you arrive at your destination, you are granted assistance (wheelchair if required) in order to go from the aircraft to the baggage collection area.
