SEA Introduces New Tool to Support Travelers who Are Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Imagine a traveler who is Deaf or hard of hearing trying to rebook a canceled flight while lines build up behind them, announcements echo through the terminal, and people rush by in every direction. Navigating a busy, unfamiliar airport can be stressful for anyone, especially if communication is a challenge. In moments like these, immediate access to a qualified American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter can make all the difference.
