I want to put out a huge thank you and kudos to the @Cancun International Airport for their outstanding volunteers who utilize the wheelchairs they were phenomenal when I travel there for a week! It took you right and directly to the Vans for transportation they took your right directly to the departure gates. Well done ✅

YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS!

My 81 year old client traveled for the fist time in 3- years. Every detail was planned: wheelchair, bathroom access and breaks, lobby steps, room distance etc. Seventy and eighty year olds are truly inspiring!

So glad I found this video. I have YOPD and *gave up flying a couple years ago bc of how worse it made everything, I just didn't know why. Well, with this info and treatment, I feel comfortable to try again. THANK YOU.
I loved the humor and banter.

Thank you so much for this video, it has some every good information for me. I don't like to travel, it's to stressful for me.

[@timball3026]

Appreciate the tips but some may be a bit pricey for many.

[@marycain5668]

No one responds... @Davis Finney?

[@Akot572]

That really sucks especially when you’re looking to get some answers.
