Airports

I've been I've been travelling on business this week and thinking about navigating airports with a visual impairment. i was noticing the special assistance given to some passengers and wondering if Charlotte would avail herself of it in airports.  They seem like they might be great in some ways and terrible in others. The lighting is really bad but all the floors are level and smooth with wide corridors; but the signage would presumably be a problem: reading the departure boards would be a nightmare. But they have those great golf carts for assisting passengers who need it.

I would think that is she wants to be an independent soul, she would navigate airports on her own but if she feels like a big of pampering (as I do at my age!), she could book some assistance and get all the benefits of being driven to the gate and queue jumping. This would presumably not apply with a discount airline.

Of course, once she is on the plane, she has proven that she loves, loves, loves the rod lighting!
