For many people, flying is a natural way to travel. But for many children and adults with autism or sensitivity to stimuli, a flight is often an overwhelming experience. The crowds, lack of overview and many stimuli at an airport can be so stressful that flying simply becomes impossible.
The Flying with Autism Foundation is committed to lowering these thresholds and to preparing the traveller well for a flight. Through airport tours, personal support tailored to your needs and clear information in advance, peace, structure and confidence can be created.

Due to the busy holiday period at the airports, the last Autism Tour before the summer holidays is scheduled for May 25. Unfortunately, this date was quickly fully booked due to the many registrations. The next tour is scheduled for September 21 and we have several other dates planned in the fall.
