    You can actually use your own wheelchair all the way up to the gate (in Changi at least) if you prefer to do so. Just inform the check-in staff that you'll require assistance at the gate and they will send a Special Services staff with their company wheelchair to the gate.

    The gate staff will then put a 'Special Delivery Tag' meant for aircraft door-side delivery on your Grandmother's wheelchair.

    Your Grandmother and her immediate traveling party would be able to pre-board

    oh no... I have to be careful then.

    I think the only problem you may have is trying to manoeuvre a wheelchair around China!
    That's true. this one is pretty heavy because she is quite plump, so we have to get a sturdier one to support her. Thanks for the information!

    Can I bring this wheelchair?

    Hi I bought this wheelchair online which I am using it for my grandmother to bring her to Guangzhou for a holiday. Will I have an issue?
