Air Travel Tips for People with Disabilities

Book flights well in advance and call the airline directly to ensure that all disability-related needs will be met. Ask for the name and position of each person you speak with and record this information.

Make arrangements for travel to and from airports. Many U.S. companies like taxis and airport shuttles offer this service free of charge. Make these arrangements well in advance along with your flight arrangements to avoid frustration upon arrival and departure.

Arrive at the airport one hour earlier than normally advised. This will allow time for accommodations to be made and avoid delays through security.
