This page tells you about the types of assistance available to you (both in the airport and on the plane) if you are visually impaired.
If you’re blind or visually impaired, our Special Assistance team and cabin crews are on hand to help you with anything you might need on your journey.
If you’re travelling alone, the Special Assistance team can organise for you to be escorted through the airport and pre-boarded before other passengers. If you would like this service; you will need to let the team know at least 48 hours before your flight.
All our aircraft carry a safety information booklet designed for visually impaired passengers. This has information in large-print and in braille.
Your assistance dog will be welcome in the aircraft cabin on most of our routes, as long as the necessary paperwork has been organised and the dog has been cleared by Special Assistance. Find out more about flying with your assistance dog.
