Air Travel Tips for People with Disabilities

By Arlene Fleming, About.com

It is nice when one article sparks another on the same topic, to really complement and complete it even more. This is what happened when I wrote about a great guide to the air travel experience put out by the United Spinal Association, and which is download-able from their site.

Mobility International USA sent along a really well-researched, straightforward feature on air travel tips for people with disabilities. What I like about it is not only does it have lots of practical tips such as advising the airline in advance of any mobility devices that may be brought along - but it also includes a certain degree of non-specific advice such as being prepared and flexible for difficult situations that may arise.

Tips also cover different disabilities from visual and mobility ones, to non-apparent disabilities.

Air Travel Tips for People with Disabilities from Mobility International USA is a quick and practical read, and easy to recommend.
