Survey

This survey aims to build a database for airports, airlines, and advocacy groups by exploring the air travel experiences of people living with dementia and their travel companions. Survey results will inform future research and provide a foundation for improving industry and passenger air travel guides, with the ultimate goal of improving the air travel experiences of persons with dementia and their travel companions.

(DFAWG) identified improving security screening as a focus point where we might be able to have a positive impact.
