[Travelandtourism] What's important to you as a blind air traveler?

[Ivonne Mosquera]

It would be helpful to have an independent way of calling or texting for assistance, once a flight has landed, to facilitate with connections or exiting the airport. This is typically left up to the flight attendants or the gate agents, and they often forget or take a long time to do it.

Thanks,
