Disability Air Travel: Information for Seniors and Disabled Publications

Summary: The Disabled World database offers a comprehensive collection of publications focused on air travel for seniors and individuals with disabilities. These resources cover a wide range of topics, including accessibility features at airports, airline policies for travelers with special needs, tips for navigating security checkpoints, and reviews of disability-friendly airlines.
