“My sister and I received our Journey Care Kits for flights out of Columbus. I just wanted to tell you what an amazing program this is and how great John Glenn International was in supporting this program for people with invisible disabilities. We had four flights in two days and the flight crew from Columbus to Nashville, the staff, and TSA in Columbus were the most helpful, kindest, and most generous people. Thank you so much for being a part of it and for your staff being as amazing as they were – it was a tremendous help for us and made our trip so much easier.”
