Publishes nothing about carrying a passenger’s own wheelchair. You have to ask them.

TAG Airlines publishes no mobility-aid policy. Its website works and we read it, but it says nothing about carrying a passenger’s own manual or powered wheelchair — no battery rules, no size limits, no notice period. That silence is the finding, and it is why almost every field below is blank. Silence is not permission. Ask them directly, get the answer in writing, and read the international baseline so you know what should apply.

Who to contact

Transcribed from the airline’s own pages, exactly as it labels them.

No accessibility or disability desk is published. TAG's special-traveller content lives in the "Prepara tu viaje" section — Mujeres embarazadas, Menor sin acompañante and Pasajeros no admitidos — and none of the three mentions wheelchairs, mobility aids or disability assistance (all three re-read live on 2026-07-29). The old single "Viajeros Especiales" page on the retired tag.com.gt domain has been deleted: it now returns Cloudflare error 1034 "Edge IP Restricted" on vuela.tagairlines.com, yet TAG's own live navigation still links to it under "Alertas de viaje globales" and "Recomendaciones" — both are broken links a traveller will hit.

Powered wheelchairs & batteries

The part that goes wrong. Battery chemistry and watt-hours decide whether your chair flies, and the rules differ depending on whether the battery can be removed.

Powered chairs accepted
Not published

TAG publishes nothing about powered wheelchairs. Its restricted-items page bans "baterías de litio o metal litio sueltas" (loose lithium or lithium-metal batteries) as miscellaneous dangerous goods, with no mobility-aid exception stated either way.

Lithium-ion batteries
Not published

Not published for wheelchairs. The restricted-items page bans loose lithium/lithium-metal batteries generally but says nothing about batteries installed in a mobility aid.

Manual wheelchairs

Manual chairs accepted

TAG publishes nothing about carrying a passenger's own manual wheelchair — the word "silla de ruedas" does not appear anywhere on its site or on its Viajeros Especiales page.

Not published

Not published.

In-cabin stowage limit

Not published.

Size limit for a checked manual chair
Not published

No wheelchair dimensions are published. TAG's general checked-baggage limit is 22 x 12 x 12 in (60 x 35 x 35 cm) per piece and the site does not say whether a mobility aid is exempt, so that figure is deliberately not recorded here as a device limit.

Weight limit for a manual chair
Not published

No wheelchair weight limit is published. TAG's general checked-baggage limit is 1 piece of 20 lb (9 kg) domestic / 35 lb (15 kg) international, US$3 per extra pound, and the cheapest "Light" fare includes no checked baggage at all (re-read live 2026-07-29). The site does not say whether a mobility aid is exempt from any of that.

Booking & cost

Advance notice requiredhours before scheduled departure
Not published

No advance-notice deadline for mobility assistance is published anywhere on tagairlines.com or tag.com.gt.

How to request assistance
Not published

TAG publishes no assistance-request route. In practice the only channels are the general call centre (+502 2380 9400), the WhatsApp chat or atencionalcliente@tag.com.gt, none of which is described as an accessibility channel.

Charge for carrying the aid
Not published

TAG does not say whether a mobility aid is carried free or counts against the (very small) checked-baggage allowance.

Mobility devices carried free
Not published

Not published.

If they damage your chair
Not published

No mobility-aid liability rule and no figure are published. TAG's Condiciones Generales de Contratación (footer of every page, re-read live 2026-07-29) disclaim responsibility for "la pérdida de ruedas, asas, correas y otros accesorios", cap baggage liability only by reference to "las normas de la IATA" and the Warsaw Convention — and, clause 19(d), accept no responsibility for loss of or damage to "cualquier equipo eléctrico" in baggage. Read literally that covers a powered wheelchair.

Worth knowing

TAG Airlines' website is fully reachable and publishes nothing at all about wheelchairs, mobility aids or disability assistance. Re-checked live on 29 July 2026: "silla de ruedas", "discapacidad", "movilidad reducida" and "asistencia especial" return zero hits on the homepage, the sitemap, the FAQs, checked baggage, hand baggage, restricted items, sports baggage, Arpel, pet-on-board, travel tips, offices, services, travel requirements, pregnant women, unaccompanied minors and inadmissible passengers, nor in the Condiciones Generales de Contratación printed in every page footer. THE 2023 CITATION IS GONE, NOT MOVED: the old "Viajeros Especiales" page on tag.com.gt no longer exists anywhere — tag.com.gt now resolves to vuela.tagairlines.com and returns Cloudflare error 1034 "Edge IP Restricted"; the Internet Archive's newest capture of it is still 2 Oct 2023; and /prepara-tu-viaje/viajeros-especiales/, /pasajeros-especiales/, /asistencia-especial/, /movilidad-reducida/, /pasajeros-con-discapacidad/ and /silla-de-ruedas/ all 404 on tagairlines.com. Its content was split into three live pages — Mujeres embarazadas, Menor sin acompañante and Pasajeros no admitidos — so s1 now cites the live successor instead of the 2023 snapshot. No fact in this record ever leaned on the 2023 page: every policy value is null. TAG's own navigation still links "Alertas de viaje globales" and "Recomendaciones" to the dead tag.com.gt URL. Context a traveller needs: the checked allowance is 1 piece of 20 lb (9 kg) domestic / 35 lb (15 kg) international, max 22 x 12 x 12 in (60 x 35 x 35 cm), US$3 per extra pound, and the "Light" fare carries no checked baggage at all. "Tag Assist" is a MUVIT travel-insurance add-on, not disability assistance. The conditions of contract disclaim liability for "cualquier equipo eléctrico" in baggage, which read literally covers a power chair. Anyone travelling with a chair must confirm by phone (+502 2380 9400), WhatsApp (+502 3764 0905) or atencionalcliente@tag.com.gt before booking.
