gregorybrown+FollowWheelchair service at Atlanta airport leaves travelers strandedImagine arriving at Atlanta’s busy airport, only to find that wheelchair assistance ends at baggage claim—leaving some travelers stuck on the curb, unable to reach rideshare or rental car areas. That’s exactly what happened to Larry Carnell, who says he’s never faced this issue at any other airport. The company insists it’s following federal safety guidelines, but for people who can’t walk the extra distance, this policy is a real barrier. Should airports rethink how they support passengers with mobility challenges? How can we make travel more accessible for everyone? #News #AtlantaAirport #Accessibility10Share
