A traveler with sight loss asks for help at the airport. The response, again and again, is a wheelchair. For blind and low vision passengers, the issue was never mobility. It is navigation, orientation, and clear communication from curbside to gate.

I’ve traveled across the country and had a hard time finding affordable, decent hotels that actually understand what wheelchair accessible means. We’ve stayed at Holiday Inn Express for over 20 years, but lately, accessibility seems hit or miss. Some newer ones have two beds and better layouts, but many lack roll-in or even walk-in showers, grab bars by the toilet, or a shower chair. Twice I’ve been booked into “communication accessible” rooms instead—great for those who are hearing-impaired, but not wheelchair users.

Another issue: those pedestal beds. They’re far too high for my 92-year-old dad and even a stretch for me at 5’2”.

So I’m wondering—what nationwide hotel chain actually offers lower beds, grab bars by the toilet, a walk-in or roll-in shower with a bench, and two queen beds? Some only have king beds in their accessible rooms and suggest booking two rooms—no thanks.

Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.

🌍✨ This week, the Aira team is attending the Travel Ability Summit in San Francisco alongside accessible travel partner Flight for Sight! Each year, Flight for Sight awards three $10,000 travel grants, empowering blind and low vision individuals to design and lead transformative travel projects.

Past grant winners have brought white canes to Ghana, introduced blind sports in Italy, and shared accessible design insights from Japan with the U.S. The grant has also empowered a blind DJ's tour of Europe and supported a blind photographer in capturing stunning photography across America’s landscapes.

As a proud sponsor, Aira will continue to provide visual interpreting services to grant winners, ensuring accessibility, independence, and support on their journeys.

Check out the projects this incredible organization is bringing to life and apply today!

With everything being so costly as of late, @Anne was beyond excited when she discovered that she could #travel around #Maui for free! In fact many people can on Maui buses. You just need to be 55 or older, a medicare cardholder, a student of 24 years or younger, 5 or younger, a person with a disability, or in financial need.

Well designed, Maui!
