Flight Delayed? Lost Luggage? Essential Rights Every Traveler Should Know

5. Rights for Passengers with Disabilities

Passengers with disabilities are entitled to specific rights to ensure a comfortable and accessible travel experience. The Air Carrier Access Act in the U.S. and similar regulations in other regions mandate that airlines provide necessary assistance, such as boarding help and accessible seating. Travelers should notify airlines of any special needs well in advance and familiarize themselves with the specific accommodations available. Understanding these rights ensures that passengers with disabilities receive the support they need, reducing travel stress.
