Wings for All is Back!
Saturday, November 15th!
Wings for All aims to alleviate some of the stress that people with autism and other intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families experience when travelling by air by providing families with the opportunity to experience and learn about how their loved ones will react to different stimuli in the airport.
Arc of Onondaga, in partnership with United Airlines, Syracuse Hancock International Airport and The Arc US, is excited to bring Wings for All to Syracuse and will be hosting an airport rehearsal on Saturday, November 15th. There are a limited number of seats on the plane and each participant can attend with up to two family members/supporters.
During the airport rehearsal, participants and their families are able to:
- Check-in to receive boarding passes
- Pass through the TSA security checkpoint
- Wait in the boarding area
- Board an aircraft (that does not take off)

- beverage and snack
Each participant is allowed two companions to board with.
There will be a complimentary reception at the airport after the flight, all participants and their family members are welcome!
