[blindlaw] ADA and Air Travel

[Russell J. Thomas, Jr.]

Off the top of my head, and without any new research, the only case I
remember is a case challenging the accessibility of airline websites with
respect to attempting to make reservations and ordering tickets on line. 

I also think that there are regulations on the subject, especially dealing
with how disabled passengers are to be treated (or perhaps on some occasions
mistreated). 

I often thought it would be a good idea for the NFB to put together a short
guide book concerning travel, including air travel, based upon experiences
of NFB members, to be used as a reference guide for blind people who use air
travel.  Certainly things have changed since 911--some changes for the good,
and others not so good.




Respectfully,

 

Russell J. Thomas, Jr.
