[Nfbc-info] Nfbc-info Digest, Vol 129, Issue 19

[Charles Krugman]

the air lines routinely provide assistance for blind or other travelers that 
need it. This could be elderly or disabled travelers or a child that is 
traveling alone. You show whomever is assisting you your claim and they will 
retrieve your baggage for you. This applies basically to any modality of 
inter city transit such as Greyhound or Amtrak. Cab and limo drivers will 
also provide help if needed. I was in San Jose attending the Democratic 
Party convention and I had more ofrfers of help from Amtrak hotel staff and 
cabbies than I knew what to do with.

I do not know about you, but for me this summer when I am planning to attend 
our national federation of the blind's convention in Orlando from June 30 to 
July 5 will be my first time traveling and ever flying on my own. I have a 
question regarding this how would a blind person manage the baggage claim 
procedure? How would a blind person be able to retrieve his/her own bag from 
a conveyor belt? Or would the airline have someone in the airport to help me 
with this?
