An elderly blind friend of mine will be flying out of POP to Miami and I am wondering if he will be allowed to have someone he trusts to escort him thru security and up to where he will need to pay his small over due exit visa fee? Also would he then be able to have an airport worker get him to the gate and on the airplane? Thanks!!!

Help at airport for blind ex-pat?
Blind flyers have the right to be escorted by airport personnel.
I have a blind friend. I help her book airline tickets, and ask for assistance at the airport in advance
The service is free and they follow her from check-in to board the plane. It may be a possibility
They never allowed me to follow her through security.
