Tips for flying with Halifax International Airport

• Prepare as early as you can for your travel plans, but not before the trip is booked.
• Let your airline know in advance when you book your tickets that you have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and require additional accommodations. It is also important to let them know if you are flying on your own.
• For more information, you can contact Jill Cormier from Autism Nova Scotia by calling 902 446 4995 or emailing jcormier@autismns.ca.
