Customers who use a stretcher
At the time of the reservation
For customers who find it difficult to remain in a sitting position, and it is necessary to lie down all the time from the takeoff to the landing, a stretcher (cot) is available.
- We will determine the possibility of using a stretcher by checking the stock of stretchers, the securing of seats on the relevant flight, the medical certificate and medical device.
Within the inquiry field of "Information and consultations about boarding", please contact the JAL Priority Center as soon as possible.
Customers for whom it is possible to sit down in the seat, and who request to use an auxiliary belt for fastening the upper body or a child seat, please confirm those who find it difficult to stay in a sitting position.
