    White House confirms ICE to help TSA at US airports starting Monday

    My understanding is they will not be doing TSA screening but other TSA related non screening duties.

    Has troubles in the world changed your travel behaviour?

    I dont think that means "closing the borders" if flights were prioritised for essential travel. Flights will still operate but perhaps on a slightly reduced schedule. Hormuz does not account for 100% of worldwide oil. Catastrophic? No, but significant yes. No tourists?. No, reduced yes...

    Sea Sickness and Cruise Medication

    No The original drug delivery system (the patch) was causing issues - IIRC it was not releasing enough of the medicine as designed. It was then pulled off the market worldwide for some years but not because of side effects. The improved version is what is available now. It is not banned in...

    Flying a disabled passenger - advice needed

    Suggest reading Section 3, and 4. Services like this are subject to "resources" and "operational requirements on the day of travel" Airlines will give themselves wiggle room. They have also been sued by disabled passengers because of poor disability services. One example - especially the part...

    Flying a disabled passenger - advice needed

    The problem is the word "may" One would hope/expect there is availability of airport wheelchairs. And (based on personal experience at SYD), they will not let you take the wheelchair out of the airport doors at the arrival airport. In our case, we circumvented that stupid rule by driving the...

    Flying a disabled passenger - advice needed

    I refer you to Page 29. 3.2 (a), (b), (c) It is not a guarantee that a kerbside wheelchair service is always going to be available. The disabled passenger will need to have his own wheelchair in any case - especially because of 3.4 (a) on page 30. Im not saying J is not recommended, but there...

    Flying a disabled passenger - advice needed

    I did. Incontinence pullups do not negate having to use the toilets during a flight - in other words, I dont assume that the passenger will not need toilet facilities.

    Flying a disabled passenger - advice needed

    Only when aircraft is on the ground. As these are bulky, the Eagle lift does not travel in the aircraft - its airport equipment. But what if.... Of course, if an aircraft does not have a disabled toilet, then the seat closest to the available toilet is best - which may be Y. However, there is...

    Flying a disabled passenger - advice needed

    1. Of course but a wheelchair bound passenger will need an travelling assistant - see below. 2. Yes. They will only provide the service from check in to aircraft, within aircraft, and to the exit doors of the arrival section of the airport but not to/from the car. 3. Look for aircraft that has...

    Sea Sickness and Cruise Medication

    Also yes mainly for nausea from chemotherapy. Ondansetron has poor efficacy against motion sickness. You really need one of the "..ine" Edited @RooFlyer

    Would you travel Air India?

    Apparently the Canadian Foreign AIr Operator Certification requires the foreign airline to specify the type of aircraft to be on the certificate. The AI 777-200 are all short term leased but AI did not amend their FAOC to include the 777-200, even though they had the 777-300 on the FAOC...
