Flair recommends that travellers who have severe allergies pack any necessary medication they require in their carry-on baggage, not in their checked baggage.

Options available when allergens are on board
Although Flair is unable to provide compensation or make provisions for travellers who have severe allergies, we do offer the following options if the traveller identifies that their allergen will be present on their flight (confirmed visually by the traveller on board the aircraft) and they:

· Are not comfortable travelling on their reserved flight, Flair will book them on the next available Flair flight to their original destination at no additional cost; or
· Elect to not travel at all, in which case Flair will provide a full refund for the cost of the flight (base fare plus all taxes and surcharges applicable to the fare). Flair will not issue a refund for the flight after it has departed.

Food allergens in the cabin
As a form of public transportation, Flair cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. We recommend that travellers with severe allergies to food products bring their food items. We recommend providing as much advance notice as possible so we can ensure we mitigate the risk of the allergen exposure to the best of our ability.

While our food items do not contain peanuts, some of Flair’s onboard snacks may contain traces of peanuts or be processed in a facility that also processes peanuts. We cannot screen food items brought on board by other Flair travellers. As such, nut residue, oils or other allergens may be present on tray tables, seat cushions, or elsewhere in the cabin, and may not have been removed despite regular cleaning.

Seating
We understand the medical implications of severe allergies. Travellers who inform a flight attendant or member of the flight crew about having a severe allergy will be asked if they have an epinephrine auto-injector (eg. EpiPen®, Allerject®) with them.

Flair will request that other travellers within the same bank of seats of a traveller with a severe allergy refrain from consuming food product(s) with items the allergic traveller may react to.

In addition, a public announcement can be made on board when a traveller self-identifies as being severely allergic to an item. Please let one of our crew members know if you would like this completed for you.

If your allergy is severe and we need to make medical accommodations for you, please fill out the Medical Accommodation Form. You will be able to print the application and have it completed by your physician.

Flair accepts most approved medical devices for transport however some medical devices cannot be used during certain critical phases of the flight (taxi, take-off, or landing), as they may interfere with communication and navigation systems.

Please ensure that the medical device is in good repair (depending on the type of device this may mean free from oil, grease, damage, and/or excessive wear and tear) and labelled appropriately.

Medical devices must be stowed for taxiing, take-off, and landing under the seat in front of you or stowed in the overhead bin. If it is determined that the equipment is affecting aircraft operations, it will need to be powered off immediately.

Although there are charging ports on the aircraft, you may not use them to charge medical devices or batteries used for medical devices or mobility aids as they are not designed for this use. Flair is not liable for any injury, harm, or damage to the equipment caused by a traveller attempting to use this power supply for batteries or portable medical electronic devices.

Batteries
There are strict criteria for travelling with a battery or battery-operated equipment. To avoid your battery being denied for your flight, please review the information below:

· Batteries are classified as dangerous goods – we take the handling of batteries very seriously and will not accept batteries that are not prepared properly for transport.
· Some batteries must be removed from the object they are in, or deactivated. For larger items like wheelchairs and mobility aids, we can assist if you provide the manufacturers or verbal instructions.
· All battery terminals must be either recessed or packaged to protect them and prevent contact with metal objects (short circuit), including the terminals of other batteries.
· Ensure you bring an adequate supply of approved batteries to meet your specific needs. Consider the duration of the flight, all ground time before and after the flight, and any unexpected delays in the terminal, during the flight, or before landing.

Information on battery acceptance and packing:
· Non-spillable dry cell battery-powered wheelchair
· Checked baggage only;
· Battery terminals must be protected from short circuits;
· Battery must be attached securely to the wheelchair.
· Wet cell battery-powered wheelchairs have the same restrictions as dry battery-powered devices PROVIDED the wheelchair or mobility device can always be maintained in an upright position. Otherwise:
· Battery will be removed and packed in a strong, rigid, leak-proof container impervious to battery fluid.
· Battery will be stored upright in a container, surrounded by special absorbent material sufficient to soak up total liquid contents.
· Batteries should be fitted with spill-resistant vent caps.

If you require, needles and syringes are accepted in your carry-on baggage. Syringes will not be accepted in carry-on baggage without accompanying medication. Please ensure the medication you need to bring with you is labelled with a pharmacy-dispensed label that includes the passenger’s name. Flair also requires that the syringes have protective needle guards and are carried in a proper medical container. If needles have been used during your flight, please dispose of these in the sharps container. Our inflight crew members can direct you to the sharps container’s location on board.

· Does your mobility device have a battery and is the battery removable?
· What type of battery are you travelling with? Examples include spillable (wet cell) non-spillable (sealed lead acid), or lithium.
· What is the height, weight, width, and length of your mobility aid?
· Do you have any detachable items, which should be brought into the cabin of the aircraft to avoid damage?

Please be aware that the cargo door configuration may require your mobility aid to be turned onto its side to fit through the entrance. If your mobility aid cannot be turned on its side for loading and unloading, we cannot accept it for transport. Most mobility aids will be transported in an upright position. Depending on the type of wheelchair battery that your mobility aid uses, the battery may need to be removed. Please be aware that if a battery cannot be deactivated or disconnected, it will be denied transportation.

We recommend you review your owner's manual to ensure you are familiar with how your mobility aid should be prepared for transport. We also recommend you bring your owner’s manual with you to the airport.

If you have had any modifications made to your mobility aid, detailed instructions on how to prepare this equipment for transport must also be provided. Flair strictly adheres to the individual manufacturer’s recommendation for proper disassembly and stowage as described in the owner's manual when provided.

Batteries
There are strict criteria for travelling with batteries or battery-operated items. To avoid your battery being denied on your flight, please review the information below:
Batteries are classified as dangerous goods, and we take the handling of them very seriously We will not accept batteries that are not prepared properly for transport.

Some batteries must be removed from the object they are in or deactivated. For larger items like wheelchairs and mobility aids, we may be able to assist, if you provide the manufacturers or verbal instructions.

If you cannot remove the battery yourself, provide the manufacturer’s information or verbal instruction on how to remove, deactivate, or prevent activation, or properly prepare the battery for transport, the battery and the mobility device will be denied.

In some instances, due to strict regulations, Flair may not be able to transport mobility devices battery-operated devices that are marked by the manufacturer as “Airline Approved” or “Safe for Air Travel”.

Flair’s cabin-crew members completed the certification course in 2019 conducted by Connecticut-based Autism Double-Checked: The course is designed to prepare flight attendants to recognize and cater to the specific needs of autistic guests as well as to help prepare the autistic guest for the air travel experience.

In North America, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects approximately one in 58 people. Research has shown that families with a member who has autism are significantly less likely to take vacations for fear of how their family member will react to the unfamiliar challenges represented by crowded airports, airplanes, and hotels.
