OPMD, got to choose the right carrier. We flew SWA last October.
I called 2 months before and 1 week before to ask questions and was assured both times it was acceptable. Let them know when booking you will have mobility device, let them know it is lithium.
We had layover and they brought it up for the connecting flight.
Most had never seen one (i2).
I did attach information: name, phone and weight (105 lbs), and how to move it (‘just push or pull like a lawnmower’). They carried it via cargo bars to cargo. They asked about deactivation, I showed them the key which I kept.
And... it was awesome!!! It changed my life.
