Can this cane be taken on air planes?

My mother took her's on the plane last time she flew. I'm sure they will check-it going thru security, but there isn't anything pointy on it.

My mother doesn't ever fly so can't answer this question. I would call whatever airline I was going to be using and ask them directly.

Yes, it is foldable and placed in your hand-carry. It's compact with a case, just like an umbrella. In fact I am doing this.

I have not had the opportunity to travel on an air plane with it. It would fold up pack wonderfully, with it's velcro strap and nice and handy bag but whether it would make it through security, I'm not sure. Bon voyage!

I was able to easily fold up the cane and just use the velcro band to hold it in the folded position then put the cane in the x-ray machine then in my carry on once I was on board the plane. I hope this helps.

Good question, but I don't know. I would call the airline and ask. If you put it in the bin to go through security, I don't see why not. Lots of people use canes, walkers, etc. and fly. Hope that helps.

Not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is a fabulous cane. It doesn't stand on it's own but it is light and easy to pull apart so you can put it into a bag or on a seat.

this cane does not fold, but my husband who is 6' tall, uses it at all times. It will fit overhead and we have never had a problem at the airport, nor anywhere else. The stability this can gives is wonderful

I would assume they would gate check it just like a stroller or wheelchair, can't see any reason why not. Remember that you will still have to have a way to get to your airplane seat once they take it away.... crutches or wheelchair.

I have looked at the four point tips available for this cane, but have not taken the plunge to try one. I was worried that this lighter weight came wouldn't work as well with it. I did check the specs and there is one made in the correct size, so I may try it at some point.

The push pins will allow it to lower to less than two feet. However we usually just put it in the overhead bin as it is very handy for boarding the plane. I do however put an address label on it or a tag just in case I get separated from it. Never had a problem though, just stand up and get my cane before anything else. Absolutely love the stability!

I do not believe there is one on the cane. Just luggage. When going through security I used their wooden can and folded mine up so it went through x-Ray. Did not have any problems!�Hope this helps.

I've used it out on the golf course, so yes - I have been able to. I would be careful when I did of course, but a lot of times I have a hard time walking up hills and such, and the best thing about it is once I get to where I am going, it stands there until I need it again, so I don't forget it! My son (39 years old) is having a major foot surgery in May ( he was born with severe club foot) and he golfs with me, and I recommended this cane to him. I told him I would get him one, but he thinks his insurance will buy it for him. If it doesn't, I will definitely buy him one.

Some airlines allow you to carry them on board as carry on as long as it can be checked via x-ray. I would suggest you call the airline you are traveling on and ask them what their requirements are. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Sorry for your loss.

Yes it can. I've used it on several flights. It can be placed under the seat in front or back of you. I've also just kept it at my feet. I have not had any difficulty using this while flying.

U can't take it inside the plane, but u can drive it inside the airport, then they will take from u as free luggage when u do checking. There is another light medical scooter used for traveling, but I think it's expensive and has simple seat.

Yes. We used it flying to the Bahamas, on both a "standard" size plane and a much smaller 40 seat one. It is also "airline approved".

I took it but didn't use it. The air France flight that I was on had its own footrests. I agree it was heavy and took up needed space in my carry on. My friend (who recommended it) swears by hers.

Yes it could but doesn't fold well so makes your cane harder to store away...

I really don't know as I ordered the cane for a relative. Sorry I can't help you

The cane is shipped in its full upright working position in a box not much larger than the standing cane itself. Assuming you don't need to adjust the height of the cane, it's ready to use right out of the box! The height of the cane is adjusted simply via the push-buttons found in the middle of the cane that lock into place, and comfortably fit any user 5'2" to 6'5" in height. Because the Sure Foot doesn't bend or flex like some other canes do, it can safely support the weight of a person up to 350 lbs. Both the Sure Foot and Sure Step canes easily come apart, completely separating the top half of the cane from the bottom half, and will then fit snuggly into virtually any luggage you own.

I would think so as long as the cane is the exact size needed for the tip. I've only ever used them on metal canes but I highly recommend them as the safest came tip on the planet! I am only a customer I do not work for or own the company�
