Autism friendly Airlines

The Riddler

I really want to start traveling again. It bugs me that I used to be able to fly (sadly not literally), but after my breakdown, it's one thing that I just can't re-engage with. I have heard/read that airlines offer support to ASD sufferers to assist with getting through the airport. However, I've also read some pretty horrendous stories about flight experiences.

What are other people's experiences of this? Any airlines you can recommend or ones to avoid?

  • There are definitely some success stories out there, with airlines offering assistance to make the airport and flight experience more comfortable.

    That being said, it's also true that not all experiences are smooth sailing. It might vary from one airline to another, and even from one flight to the next. It's often a good idea to research airlines that have specific programs or policies in place to support passengers with ASD.

    As for recommendations, it can be helpful to reach out to airlines directly to discuss your specific needs and concerns. In your case, if you're looking for information about flying with Delta, don't hesitate to call Delta. They should be able to provide you with detailed information about their services and support options for passengers with ASD. It's all about finding the airline and the approach that works best for you.
