[Ohio-Talk] Flying as a blind individual

[Rick Mladek]

Tell the airline people you are blind and request assistance to/from your gate, on/off the plane and to your baggage claim area to find your baggage, if checking any in, and then to meet those meeting you at the airport or out to a cab. They will do this without fail. I've traveled alone around the world and even in foreign Countries, they are great at taking extra care to get you where you need to be.

Good evening Ohio family! Hope you all had an amazing week! Earlier today, I found out that I will be flying on my own to Dallas, Texas, for my grandmothers wedding. Any tips for flying alone? I’m planning on carrying my cane, but I am concerned that I will have trouble finding my terminal and such. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Blessings,
