A program specifically designed to support families of children with autism, creating a travel test run to help ease the stress of airline travel. By getting comfortable with the airport and flight experience without actually leaving the airport, parents and their children with special needs can gain the familiarity and confidence they need to take future trips.

Families are able to practice:
Entering the Airport, the Check-in Process, and checking bags
Security Screening & Waiting in the Terminal
