[nabs-l] Air travel an advise required

[Karl Martin Adam]

I agree with Justin, they can't legally require you to board with 
assistance.  If they keep insisting, I would suggest contacting 
the NFB National Center and seeing if they'll get one of our 
lawyers to talk to United on your behalf.

Best,
Karl

No, that is absolutely not true. You have every right to board 
alone.

Dear All,
Hope you all are doing well.

Actually, I am planning to travel in USA and facing some issues.

I have flight at Chicago airport operated by EXPRESSJET
AIRLINES DBA
UNITED EXPR owned by united airlines. I am in conversation with 
their
customer care executive. They have informed me that On US 
domestic airport
they do not allow individual  visually impaired to board alone. 
Is this an
universal law or airline specific laws are implemented? Or is 
there any
provision of USA government to tackle this issue? Is there any 
one travelled
from this airline and had assistance on board?

Sincerely
Siddhi
