  1. The wheelchair for the deaf person… at some airports, you may want to accept the offer. The number of electric carts carrying passengers from one terminal to another, could be dangerous for those unable to hear their horns and buzzers.

  2. I date a blind lady for many years, who flew weekly, she was offend when the FA ask her if she needed assistance, she knew the location of every bar in the airport.

    We set in the exit row once, they ask us to move, she told them she was the only person on the airplane that could see in the dark..

    Quite a lady,

  3. The delays in boarding and deplaning are almost entirely due to the large number of carry-on bags – people getting them on, horsing them into the bins, not finding enough space for them, and dragging them out at the destination.

    Airlines should check bags for free and charge for carry-on items that are larger than a small personal item such as a small backpack, computer case, purse, etc.

    Watch then how much faster boarding and deplaning becomes.
