Disability Assistance Plan
Disability Assistance Plan;
Do you have one?
Do you know which airlines offer them?
What are they?
Well fear no more because I am about to tell you.
When travelling and you have a disability in my case it’s Autism what plans are in place with each of the airlines to make sure that you get the disability assistance that you need?
Well here then are what the airlines offer to make sure that you have a stress free time getting to your flight, making a connection and what they offer during the flight.

My advice is once the booking has been made contact the airline and alert them to any help that you require as a disabled passenger. I have a meet and assist in place via Qantas which I arranged after booking my holiday to Melbourne.
I contacted Qantas via direct message on Twitter. If you book directly with the air-line, then make sure you ask them about what help and assistance they can offer to you and have a safe and stress free time flying.
I’m away now for a week. Taking time to re charge my batteries and have a fun relaxing time in Melbourne.
