Travel without Barriers
We consider assisting passengers with reduced mobility or ill passengers to be a natural responsibility, and there is no charge for such assistance.
If you require this type of assistance during check-in and the flight itself, inform us when you make a reservation. Special assistance is provided primarily to passengers who are:
- Ill or with reduced mobility
- Visually- or hearing-impaired
If you are not certain whether your health will permit you to travel by air, read the information on the Caring for Your Health page carefully and consult your physician with respect to your travel plans.
Ill Passengers or Passengers with Reduced Mobility
- The carriage of ill passengers or passengers with reduced mobility must be agreed upon and confirmed in advance (48 hours before their travel at a minimum)
- Acceptance of ill passengers and passengers with reduced mobility for air carriage is limited with regard to their own safety and the safety of other passengers
- If the size of the aircraft or its boarding door and technical equipment or narrow space aboard do not allow safe transport, Czech Airlines may refuse the carriage of the passenger
- Czech Airlines may require a medical certificate (on a special MEDIF form, which is available from Czech Airlines sales offices) if the airline is to carry an ill passenger
An airport wheelchair is available during check-in and on the way to/from the aircraft for passengers with reduced mobility. A collapsible wheelchair to move immobile passengers during the flight is available aboard A310-321-320-319 and B737-400-500 aircraft types only. Immobile passengers can check their wheelchair in as luggage (free of charge). You can obtain information about carrying a wheelchair when you make your reservation.
Visually- or hearing-impaired passengers
- If a visually-impaired passenger is accompanied by a guide dog, the dog is transported free of charge aboard the aircraft. The dog must wear a harness and leash (a muzzle is recommended for the dog if necessary).
- The passenger must carry the dog’s Training Certificate and all the required travel documents
- These same rules apply to other disabled passengers who are dependent on an accompanying dog
