The act requiring an air carrier access act was enacted by an air carrier access act

The Airline Passengers with Disabilities Bill of Rights was released in 2022 by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) in 2022. This Bill of Rights addresses the fundamental rights of air travelers with disabilities under the ACAA and its enforcing legislation, Part 382. (CFR) Part 382.

Normally, when booking a flight, the customer is asked if they need special assistance. Oftentimes, these questions do not specify in detail what kind of services are needed. Since people with disabilities do not need the same services, it's impossible for people with disabilities to make further arrangements. Understanding what services are available is just as important as the services themselves.
