Legally service providers are required in many cases to accommodate travellers with special needs. The Air Carrier Access Act requires that you give the airline at least 48 hours’ notice if you are travelling with a group of 10 or more disabled passengers. It is appropriate and out of courtesy that you call the airlines ahead 24 to 48 hours. It also pays to mention your needs at the time of reservation, and call the provider before your arrival to confirm that proper accommodations have been made. As you can understand, these circumstances need special arrangements.
Be specific and clear when describing a disability. Not all service providers know the “lingo” of accessible travel, or the medical terms for certain conditions. Don’t downplay the severity of the disability. Some companies arrange trips for folks according to the level of “self-care” of which they are capable.
Check with your doctor as to whether it is advisable to travel. Be specific and clear when describing the trip to your doctor. A doctor can often prescribe measures for coping with an unusually long flight, limited medical facilities at your destination, the unavailability of prescription drugs, and other pitfalls of travelling. It is wise to get a letter from your doctor, listing out your medical conditions. medications and any possible complications.
As you well know, luggage can be lost in transit, so bring extra medication in your hand carry luggage.
Depending on the seriousness of your condition, it might pay to investigate if there is a doctor readily available where you are travelling to.
Aother important point to consider while on holiday is to keep in your person, readily information on your medical condition such as allegies etc.
Ensure that you have plenty of time befoe checking in all the way to your gate for boarding and also check with the air hostesses an plan of exit upon arrival at your destination.
Oh yes, bring spare parts and tools for your wheelchair. Understand that although airlines and airport will try to cater for your needs, most would not have the necessarily parts & tools to assist you in case of emergency repairs.

Best Toilet in the World would be the Japanese toilets. I am totally amazed by the technology that had not spread to any other parts of the world that I had traveled to and I had traveled to most of Europe and Asian countries. I also met a fellow tourist who had traveled to over 30 countries in both Europe. USA, Africa, Australia and Asia and 
her experience is similar to mine. She indicated that she had not experience such clean and “well trained” toilet as some of the toilet knows when to open the seat covers if
previously closed ! Most toilets in Japan are fitted with an antiseptic wipe for the toilet seats. Most are also fitted with 2 types of wash for our precious parts.(mind you fitted with warm water as well, not cold water, which is very much appreciated.) Most toilet seats are heated and as mentioned previously, some toilets are even equipped with self opening seat cover and self flashing. That way one does not even need to touch any part of the toilet surfaces at all. That to me is very clean and hygienic. In Muslim culture, they used water to clean 
themselves afte
r going to the toilets. If they had used the kind of toilets that the Japanese used, their toilets and surroundings will be clean and “DRY”. I must admit that aside from tourist sights and the people, toilet facilities are one of my enjoyable and memorable part of my trip to Japan.
