Do I need a companion?

In general, airlines will accept any person with reduced mobility (PRM) who can understand and carry out the safety instructions by themselves and who doesn't interfere with in-flight safety or the activities of the crew.
Otherwise, you may need a companion and, on specific occasions, health personnel with the capacity to apply the care you need.
Travelling with a companion is mandatory if you need assistance to:

  • Get to an emergency exit.

  • Communicate in any way with the crew about safety matters.

  • Unfasten or fasten your safety belt.

  • Carry out basic physiological needs.

  • Access the life jacket or oxygen mask and put them on.

Except in special cases, your companion must be at least 18 years old and in full possession of their faculties.

Aena Badge

Aena has developed a badge that allows people with invisible disabilities to be easily identified by airport staff, improving their experience and reducing stress. This device indicates that the person may need help or understanding and a little more time to perform any activity at the airport. This badge also gives you priority access to the security control.
