The Accessible Travel Intelligence Suite
Travel data built for
every body.
Airlines. Cruises. Ports. Excursions. Resorts. Destinations. Rail. Events. Travel Insurance. Medical Resources.
The travel industry publishes almost nothing useful for plus size travelers, people managing chronic illness, travelers with mobility challenges or anyone flying with medical equipment. What exists is scattered, outdated or buried in fine print.
Travendex built the databases that should have existed a decade ago. Verified policies, real dimensions, actual accessibility data across every part of your trip, all in one place.
The Travendex Suite
Ten databases. One membership.
Each index covers one part of your trip with the depth it deserves. Airlines, ships, ports, excursions, resorts, destinations, rail networks, events and medical facilities. Buy what you need or bundle the suite.
Customer of size policies, seat dimensions, disability services, chronic illness accommodations, CPAP and oxygen equipment rules, terminal accessibility and the SSR codes that actually get you the help you need. Verified against each carrier's current documentation.
Accessible cabin measurements, ship accessibility ratings, cruise line disability policies, plus size cabin capacity data, mobility scooter storage, tender port accessibility and everything about the ship that brochures never mention.
Every cruise destination port rated for accessibility. Dock versus tender distance to town. Surface conditions, terrain difficulty and the real walk from ship to shore. Plus airport terminal accessibility for the hubs that matter most to cruise travelers.
Shore excursions rated for mobility access, physical demand levels, terrain type, walking distances, seating availability and whether they are suitable for travelers using wheelchairs, mobility scooters or managing chronic pain and fatigue conditions.
Resorts and hotels indexed for plus size room capacity, accessible room specs, pool lift availability, bariatric furniture, distance between amenities and the information travel review sites never think to publish.
Country, destination and city level accessibility data. Urban transit usability, terrain ratings, walkability for mobility limited travelers, visa considerations for medical equipment, healthcare system quality, pharmacy access for chronic illness travelers and legal protections for disabled tourists worldwide.
Amtrak, Eurostar and international rail networks indexed for accessibility. Wheelchair accessible car locations, step free boarding, station elevator reliability, plus size seating dimensions, assisted travel reservation requirements and medical equipment policies across major rail systems worldwide.
Music festivals, food markets, holiday fairs and outdoor events rated for accessibility. Ground terrain and surface types, accessible toilet ratios, mobility scooter pathways, weight rated seating, quiet zones for sensory sensitive attendees, medical tent locations, service animal policies and plus size considerations that venues never thought to publish.
English speaking hospitals, clinics and pharmacies near major cruise ports, airports and travel destinations. Rated for accessibility, distance from dock or terminal, specialist availability, dialysis centers for travelers on treatment, emergency services and insurance acceptance. The facility database that travel medicine never built.
Insurance carriers indexed for accessible travel coverage. Policy terms for pre-existing conditions, medical equipment coverage, trip interruption for health events, evacuation benefits, plus size and bariatric coverage considerations, and the fine print that matters before you buy.

Why Travendex Exists
The data that should
already exist.
Somewhere between 26% and 42% of American adults are considered plus size depending on the metric used. Roughly 61 million Americans live with a disability. More than 60 million have at least one chronic illness. These are not niche travelers. They are the majority of travelers and the travel industry publishes almost nothing useful for any of them.
What does exist is scattered across a hundred different forum posts, airline fine print buried in PDFs, cruise brochures that omit cabin dimensions entirely and the occasional outdated blog post that nobody has verified since 2019. Accessible travel research is a second job for people who already have enough to manage.
Travendex is a suite of databases, not a blog. No affiliate links. No sponsored content. No best of lists based on nothing. Every entry is sourced, dated and built to be updated when the actual policy changes, because airline and cruise line policies change constantly.
The same database that covers fat travel on airlines also covers traveling with a power wheelchair, flying with a CPAP machine, cruising while managing fibromyalgia, booking a resort with genuinely accessible rooms and taking a shore excursion from a port without a dock. This is not one community. It is many and they deserve the same quality of information everyone else takes for granted.
Travel Intelligence for Every Body
What we actually cover
Airline Accessibility
Plus size airline travel requires knowing the actual seat width of the specific aircraft you are booking, not a generic average. AirEndex indexes seat dimensions by aircraft type, customer of size policies for every major carrier and what the policy actually means in practice versus what it says on paper.
Flying with a wheelchair means navigating a system that was not built for you. Power wheelchair battery type requirements, advance notice rules, the difference between airport wheelchair assistance and your own mobility equipment and which airlines handle both better or worse than average.
Traveling with medical equipment including CPAP machines, portable oxygen concentrators, insulin coolers and nebulizers each has a different set of airline rules and TSA procedures. AirEndex covers all of them by carrier.
Cruise Ship Accessibility
Plus size cruising starts with the cabin. Bed width, chair capacity, doorframe dimensions, bathroom layout and whether the bed frame allows for a CPAP machine to sit beside it at head height. CruisEndex covers what brochures leave out.
Accessible cruising for wheelchair users involves more than ADA compliant cabins. It includes which ships have roll in showers, which pools have lifts, how crew assistance is structured at tender ports and which itineraries avoid the tender ports entirely.
Cruising with chronic illness means knowing the medical facility on board before you book. Ship size, onboard medical staffing levels, defibrillator availability, refrigerated medication storage and how crew are trained to handle medical events at sea.
Ports, Destinations and Beyond
Accessible shore excursions are one of the most researched and least well documented parts of cruise travel. PortEndex and ExcursEndex will cover terrain types, walking distances in precise measurements, seating availability and a physical demand rating built specifically for travelers managing pain, fatigue and mobility limitations.
Fat travel at resorts and hotels is almost entirely undocumented. Weight rated furniture, chair arm width, pool lift access, beach wheelchair availability and whether "accessible room" means the bathroom actually works for a plus size body. ResortEndex covers what no other database does.
Group travel accessibility, solo women's travel, rail travel for wheelchair users, festival and event accessibility and travel with medical equipment internationally all require data that DestEndex will provide, including medication import rules, healthcare quality rankings and practical local accessibility conditions.
