   Disabled Travel Guide
An advice guide aimed at helping disabled people travelling through airports has been produced The guide covers a wide range of accessibility issues and concerns within airports which currently affect disabled travellers and also users with restricted mobility. Unfamiliar environments, such as busy airports, can be a daunting experience for anyone who is restricted by a disability. This can make simple tasks, such as stowing luggage and boarding the aircraft extremely problematic. The guide includes common worries and frequently asked questions: What happens at security and customs? General airport assistance Advice before you travel Return journey help Travelling with autism Travelling with medication Travelling with kidney disease Breathing related mobility restrictions Visual impairments Deaf or hearing impaired Assistance at the car park Wheelchair advice Assistance pets Tips and advice Matthew Lobas comments: “We have created this guide to help relieve some of the stress and worry for disabled people using airports. We regularly get emails about wheelchair access and other related questions therefore it made sense to collate all this information and to produce an easily accessible document which contains everything. The aim is to help everyone regardless of their needs to travel comfortably.” Source: Parkat, Salford Innovation Forum
