Blind woman says she and guide dog were kicked off airplane

FRANKLIN, Maine — A blind woman from Maine says she and her service
dog were kicked off an American Airlines flight after she requested a
different seat.
Sue Martin, of Franklin, says she, her husband and her guide dog
boarded a plane bound for Dallas at Reagan National Airport near
Washington on March 1. She says she asked a flight attendant if she
could be moved to a seat in another row that had room for the German
shepherd.
Martin says the flight attendant refused. A man in first class later
offered his seat, which Martin accepted. That’s when she says she was
asked to leave by an American Airlines employee who said her presence
on the plane was unsafe.
An American Airlines spokeswoman says the airline is investigating the
allegations.
