Leeds Bradford Airport are currently demonstrating how assisted travel should be done.

I’m flying to New York in less than a week, and I’m still very much in the middle of planning everything. I’m traveling alone, and I’m blind, so it’s important to me that things are as accessible as possible. I’ve written a very detailed post about solo traveling when blind, but here is how I…
