so those of you who have traveled, what do you find easier to travel on, plane, train, or bus (bus meaning greyhound)?

Posted by KelliJohnson on 3/31/2009 at 12:57 PMI'm flying on an airplane for the first time since I've been completley blind; any tips? I'll be with my mom and a freind, so is airport staff still going to try to help me? As long I'm with my mom and freind I won't need any other help. Does the airport treat blind people the same way they treat people who aren't blind? Anybody have any wierd airport experiences?

Posted by savvysoulfulmimi on 4/2/2009 at 9:30 PMI think they are super nice to the blind, they will not insist on helping but they will offer to push you in a wheelchair so that you can get to your flight quicker and get on faster. if you wait to long people start shoving and with carry-on bags it can get messy so the staff just tries to help. But you can refuse if you want, i just find it more cconvenient to accept their help.
