Hi As per DICGC guidelines, we have the right for dignified travel. Continuing with it, it is necessary for us to intimate the airlines in advance.

Subject: Re: [AI] Query regarding human assistance with AirAsia at the Bangalore Airport Although all Airlines staff do take care of visually impaired passengers these days, however, I would mark Indigo staff and their servicess with best rating amongst all domestic airlines. They also provide you with Braille list of instructions and products to be sold in the flight. Their behaviour and level of courtesy is also highly appreciated during entire journey.
