        Flying with a Disability
        tabifolk 2 years ago (edited)

        Have you ever been held against your will at an airport?

        The Accessibility Feature All Airports Need (But Few Have) - Wheelchair Travel

        Without this critical feature and accessible ground transportation, airports can effectively become prisons for wheelchair users.

          Oof, that’s rough. I thought there we buses to the Orlando airport, maybe it was too late though. Definitely not an ideal situation.

            LAX, BUR (Burbank, CA/Bob Hope Airport), and SNA (Orange County, CA/John Wayne Airport) all have sidewalks that leave the airport. Of course, this doesn’t mean drivers will always pay attention. I haven’t needed to use those sidewalks yet.

            Generally, it’s known not to arrive late-night at an airport here in the States. In the places where the ‘bare minimum’ is done for legally-required accessible transportation, they won’t have accessible vehicles after 8-10 pm. They’ll claim that it’s not needed.
