Orthopedic positioning devices (OPD)
OPDs are assistive devices used by customers with disabilities in order to support themselves in such a way that the aircraft's seatbelt can be used as an effective and primary method of restraint. The use of this type of OPD is appropriate and permitted on aircraft and is not prohibited by current regulations.
OPDs are devices or supportive braces that are designed and used to help support and position a person who has:
Significant postural asymmetries of the pelvis, trunk, and or hips that lack flexibility.
Significant hyper or hypotonia, plasticity, or mixed athetoid dysfunctions.
Absent or impaired sensation in an area of contact with a seating surface.

The OPD must not attach to the seat, but must be properly positioned in order to use the existing aircraft seatbelt as the primary restraint device.
The aircraft seatbelt must secure around the person using the OPD and provide the primary method of restraint.
An OPD may be used in any seat except an exit row, provided it does not block any customer's exit from the aircraft.
The OPD is not intended to be identified, sold or used as a child restraint system.
There must be a medical need for the customer to use the OPD. This can come from observation of the customer or credible verbal assurance from them or their attendant.
Please note:
 we do not have OPDs available at the airport.
Carry-on bags for customers with medical conditions or disabilities
You're not limited in the amount or volume of the items below that you may bring in your carry-on bag(s).

- The aircraft seatbelt must secure around the person using the OPD and provide the primary method of restraint.
- An OPD may be used in any seat except an exit row, provided it does not block any customer's exit from the aircraft.
- The OPD is not intended to be identified, sold or used as a child restraint system.
There must be a medical need for the customer to use the OPD. This can come from observation of the customer or credible verbal assurance from them or their attendant.
**Please note:** we do not have OPDs available at the airport.
### Carry-on bags for customers with medical conditions or disabilities

1. The most common type of battery is a lead acid battery. These are known as "spillable" batteries because they are filled with highly corrosive fluid that may leak out of the battery if not handled properly. A gel-cell battery is considered "non-spillable" since the gel will not leak out of the battery.

### Orthopedic positioning devices (OPD)
OPDs are assistive devices used by customers with disabilities in order to support themselves in such a way that the aircraft's seatbelt can be used as an effective and primary method of restraint. The use of this type of OPD is appropriate and permitted on aircraft and is not prohibited by current regulations.
OPDs are devices or supportive braces that are designed and used to help support and position a person who has:
- Significant postural asymmetries of the pelvis, trunk, and or hips that lack flexibility.
- Significant hyper or hypotonia, plasticity, or mixed athetoid dysfunctions.
- Absent or impaired sensation in an area of contact with a seating surface.
- Past history of, or current pressure ulcer, on an area of contact with a seating surface.
**OPD Usage Requirements:**
- The OPD must be equipped with internal restraints to position a person in the device to provide that person security and support.
- The OPD must not attach to the seat, but must be properly positioned in order to use the existing aircraft seatbelt as the primary restraint device.
- The aircraft seatbelt must secure around the person using the OPD and provide the primary method of restraint.
- An OPD may be used in any seat except an exit row, provided it does not block any customer's exit from the aircraft.
- The OPD is not intended to be identified, sold or used as a child restraint system.
There must be a medical need for the customer to use the OPD. This can come from observation of the customer or credible verbal assurance from them or their attendant.
**Please note:** we do not have OPDs available at the airport.
### Carry-on bags for customers with medical conditions or disabilities
You're not limited in the amount or volume of the items below that you may bring in your carry-on bag(s).
