How airports help travelers with disabilities

• Project advocates urge airports to better accommodate these passengers to avoid misunderstandings and potentially ensuing disasters.

How it works: Airport information booths offer sunflower-themed lanyards and wristbands as discreet signs a traveler needs extra time or assistance while flying.

• Fuller "Journey Care Kits," which include face masks, travel checklists and bag tags, are available by emailing [email protected] two months before flying.

The big picture: The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Network includes many airports across the world, including others in Ohio like Cincinnati and Akron-Canton.
