Accessibility and assistance

How can i know if i need a safety assistant for my trip?

We want you to enjoy your flight with peace of mind and safety. In some cases, you may need to travel with a safety assistant who can support you during the flight or in an emergency situation.

When do you need a safety assistant?

You must travel with a safety assistant if you:

  • Have difficulty communicating effectively to receive, understand, or respond to safety instructions.
  • Cannot assist yourself during an evacuation in case of an emergency.
  • Need help eating, using the restroom, or taking medication during the flight.

Please note:

  • Safety assistants must have their own ticket.
  • If, at boarding, it is determined that you need a safety assistant and you do not have one, you may not be allowed to board the flight for your own safety.
