In a disastrous ruling a California federal court has found in favor of airlines who refuse to make their ticketing kiosks accessible to blind travelers. See fuller details here.
This is what comes of stuffing the regional federal courts with right wing judges–a "stuffing" that has been going on for thirty years. In this case, Judge Spero simply ruled that the Department of Transportation's rules don't sufficiently cover electronic kiosks. Left out of the ruling is the issue of equal access.
I can tell you that waiting in a line for a ticket agent when there are almost no ticket agents is pretty damned awful. Perhaps Judge Spero would do well to fly with me. But of course he probably wouldn't want to sit next to a dog.

Even if the kiosks were accessible, just because you travel with a dog you would still have to stand in line. My eyes work but other things do not, and with my service dog I must stand in lines for tickets. No phones apps or internet usage for us service dog partners!
