Wings for All: Helping Every Family Fly with Confidence
Designed by The Arc of the United States, Wings for All is a national initiative that offers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) — along with their family members — a chance to practice the airport experience. Participants are supported throughout the entire process from ticketing, to security, to boarding the plane.
The Arc of King County (The Arc), Port of Seattle, United Airlines, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and McDonald’s at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) came together to make this experience possible for nearly 70 different local families in October 2026, the second of the year.
If you have questions about Wings for All, please visit The Arc of King County website or email [email protected].
For additional accessibility resources at SEA, you can email the SEA Access team at [email protected]. SEA Access supports travelers with disabilities, with the goal of making SEA the most accessible airport in the nation.
