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.

  • Excellent…

    This is the best walker I've had. Love that it doesn't "shimmy" when I walk. Also, the brakes hold so much better than the pressure style.…

    I bought this as I have mobility issues and the rollator I currently have is totally unsuitable for uneven ground. I find it so much easier to use and have received many remarks about it.…

    I’m 69. Sadly, cancer attacked my spine. I lost the ability to walk, had lots of treatment at Clatterbridge Liverpool, and then home physiotherapist visits. I’m now walking slowly.

    Had several walkers, none worked for me, but this one, on the cont…

    Had this for a few months; easy to fit, the clips keep it in position and it gives it good protection as needed.…

    I am so thankful for my Veloped which has transformed my walking enormously. Having suffered from balance issues for the past year walking has been extremely difficult and frustrating; even a variety of sticks didn’t help very much. I am truly amazed…

  • Great…

    The Veloped Sport met my expectations. The braking system is almost perfect; I wish there was a way to hold the level of braking when traversing steep hills.…

    The Walker delivers what the advertising promises.…

  • No clattering noises…

    I'm really happy with it, I can go for walks on uneven terrain again without any clattering noises, the pneumatic tyres are great. I would recommend the rollator to anyone.…
