Cognitive and Developmental Assistance
To begin with
With regards to the reservation method and the details of procedures done in advance, please check "Advance Procedures (Information About the Reservation Process)".
About Traveling Companions
Customers who find it difficult to do things by themselves need to fly with someone accompanying them in the same class.
Those people accompanying should please provide care and assistance at the airport, when boarding, during the flight and when deplaning, and should please give guidance and assistance at the time of an emergency.
If you would like to use JAL, we will introduce a service in which a nurse will accompany you on your trip.
Registered nurses at the Japan Tours Nurse Center will help you safely and securely participate in your upcoming trip due to an illness or disability.
Please see the website of Japan Tours Nurse Center for details such as contents and fees.
At the time of the reservation
Please register your support information through the JAL website or by contacting us by phone.
If you need a wheelchair, please also check "Assistance for mobility and wheelchairs".
