Airlines & Disability Policies

Airline	Comments
AirTran Airways
Air Canada
Air France	Not much information here, so you may have to phone them to expand on what they mean by "24-Disabled customers are welcomed, given information and treated according to their special needs with full respect for their dignity."
Air Alaska	This airline even has a Service Dog policy, must be all those Huskies!
American Airlines
America Weat Airlines
British Airways	Note "On Jetstream 41 aircraft, we cannot carry you if you need 'lift on' assistance or cannot climb steps. The cabin space at the top of the steps of this aircraft is too small for wheelchair access "
Continental Airlines	Not only does their policy cover service dogs, but it also covers service monkeys! (does that mean kids go free?).
Delta Airlines
El Al Airlines	Very "sketchy" policy, better to phone them about assistance, especially lifting you into your aircraft seat.
Hawiaiian Airlines	If you are travelling on your own, be aware of the following:- "If Hawaiian Airlines believes a passenger needs an attendant in order to ensure his or her safety, such as in the case of passengers traveling on stretchers or in incubators, those with disabilities that prevent understanding of or acting upon safety instructions, or those with an inability to assist in his or her own evacuation of the airplane, we will request that the customer arrange for a traveling attendant. "
Jet Blue Airlines	Again, check their "Contract of Carriage", as they may require you to travel with a carer if "A person with a mobility impairment so severe that the person is unable to assist in his or her own evacuation of the aircraft".
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Lufthansa Airlines
Malaysia Airlines
New Zealand Airlines	Air New Zealand will not lift disabled passengers into their aircraft seats, fly with Quantas instead.
Northwest Airlines
Quantas	Very comprehensive set of policies, very helpfull
