Creator's Key Takeaways

The Delta Airlines agents here were actual Angels they had a team of people sorting out how we would get home accessible cars and hotels business class lounges meals the works.

Single aisle airplanes that are produced in the next 10 years and basically put into service within 12 years will all have accessible Laboratories.

The rub is is that you can still use the ocean now um you know function but it's going to cost you 15 bucks not per time but just one time.

My complaint is that some of you on here are not knowing what you're complaining about and some of you here are rehashing the same stuff because you haven't read any of the other posts.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Allow for three hour layovers when traveling with a disability.
If you don't want to pay for add-ons, stick to the base fare and pay a la carte.
Write a letter via snail mail to corporate offices to voice complaints.

We also talk about new legislation being proposed by the Secretary of Transportation to make airlines add accessible lavatories. In our last segment, we discuss the changes being made by Princess Cruises to their Princess Plus and Princess Premier add-on packages, and the negative reaction from some long-time Princess fans.
