Did you know that Aena airports have a hidden disability badge available?
Pic is an example of when we travelled.
If you have a hidden disability and need assistance at the airport you can just show your badge to airport personnel who can assist.
Aena is helping those with hidden disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder to overcome barriers they may face when travelling.
The badge is aimed for those with hidden disabilities who may have difficulties in stressful environments or where it may cause sensory stimulation. The badge shows that the person may need support, help, a little more understanding and more time.
The badge can be used to access the airport security checkpoint that is specifically for families and individuals with reduced mobility.
The airport list that currently accepts the badge is as follows.
* Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas
* Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández
* Bilbao
* César Manrique-Lanzarote
* Fuerteventura
* Girona-Costa Brava
* Gran Canarias
* Ibiza
* Internacional Región de Murcia
* Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat
* Málaga-Costa del Sol
* Menorca
* Palma de Mallorca
* Reus
* Sevilla
* Santiago-Rosalía de Castro
* Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna
* Tenerife Sur
* Valencia
* Vigo
The sunflower lanyard is still recognised but you can’t automatically access the security checkpoint for families or those with reduced mobility.
