Seeing Eye dog Mylo is with me in the Azores! Thank you to everyone who shared my video describing Azores Airlines’ policy of separating disabled travelers from family/friends! The U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed they are investigating Azores Airlines.
We flew here with United Airlines, which generously upgraded us to bulkhead seats that gave Mylo more space. I wish United had flights between the islands, too. But Azores Airlines is the only way to travel between Sao Miguel and the other islands.
We plan to visit Pico Island next week. Wish us luck! If Azores Airlines refuses to let us fly, well, Sao Miguel is a lovely island and I could finally learn how to file an EU disability rights complaint!
