"In general, air carriers may not require air passengers with disabilities to provide a medical certificate related to their condition. Moreover, people with disabilities cannot be required to provide advance notice that they are traveling. However, if the air carrier needs to make prior arrangements for certain services, such as a medical respirator hook-up or an incubator carriage, the air carrier can require up to 48 hours of notice."

Here is their out on this one... "health and safety.

*Planning Your Air Travel

In general, air carriers may not require air passengers with disabilities to provide a medical certificate related to their condition. Moreover, people with disabilities cannot be required to provide advance notice that they are traveling. However, if the air carrier needs to make prior arrangements for certain services, such as a medical respirator hook-up or an incubator carriage, the air carrier can require up to 48 hours of notice.

In addition, an air carrier may not prohibit a person with a disability from traveling unless it determines that the disability is a direct threat to the health or safety of others. In that instance, the air carrier must provide the individual with a written decision of its actions. Furthermore, air carriers cannot restrict the number of air passengers with disabilities on a flight. However, if a group of 10 or more people with disabilities is traveling together, an air carrier can require advance notice up to 48 hours.*
