Question 2

Assistance for Customers who are blind or have low vision at the airport and during travel.

Accepted Answer

If you’re blind or have low vision and need assistance at the airport and/or during your flight, identify yourself and the type of assistance you need during your day of travel:

When you arrive at the airport
At your departure gate
Onboard the plane
At any connection points
At your destination

When you identify yourself and your needs to our Gate Agent and Flight Crew, we can be sure to establish communication with you. This will help us provide prompt access to the same information provided to others in the gate area and onboard (e.g., boarding and baggage claim information, schedule changes, flight safety information, etc.).
