Walking cane on a plane?

[Lorix2]

My mom uses one...will she have to check that in like luggage It probably wouldn't be allowed in the seating area of the plane, right?

Thanks

it will be cleared thru security and she will have to put it in the overhead storage on the plane. There should be no problem with her keeping it.

The flight attendant can put it in an overhead or closet (if there is space). There shouldn't be a problem. If she needs it during the flight to move around the cabin, you can get it back out.

Have a great time!

oh good, glad to hear this. Thank you both.

Besides what the others wrote, I wanted to mention that a mobility device doesn't count as a carryon - she still is entitled to still have her regular carryons.
