Travelers with disabilities learn what it feels like to fly – without leaving LAX

  • Alaska Airlines and Los Angeles International Airport teamed up in June to allow families to board a ‘fake flight’. The event, dubbed ‘Ability to Fly’, was an opportunity for families with children who struggle with sensory processing and noise, to give them a trial run of air travel without the pressure of a real, busy flight. Families went through the entire check-in, security screening and the boarding process, before the plane taxied to LAX’s remote gates and then returned to the gate. It’s given several families the confidence to come back and do it for real.
