How it will work: Head over the airport and park, grab your IDs and then head into the terminal to gather your boarding passes at the check-in ticket counter. Go through TSA security and proceed to the gate listed on your boarding ticket. Wait for your names to be called to board the aircraft, find your seats and fasten your seat belts. After that, sit back and listen to the onboard announcements, enjoy a snack and then deplane. The plane will not taxi or take-off.
Note: Parking instructions and terminal number will be provided in your registration confirmation email.
Space is limited and registration is required here. If you or an autistic loved one requires special accommodations, please reach out to the Autism Flies event coordinators, or use the notes field on the registration page. If you are registering a family of 6 or more, please do so here.

Hello all,
This is a personal post, not a professional one today. Nearly 2 years ago I donated a kidney altruistically. I can't tell you what an incredible experience this has been for me. The Baystate Transplant Team in Spfld., MA. has put together a couple videos about living donation. I've posted the link here to both. The first one is a shorter video in which a kidney recipient and 4 living donors are interviewed (myself included.) The second video includes more information for anyone needing a kidney and anyone wanting more information about becoming a living donor. Of course, I'm happy to talk to anyone who has questions, just email me or shoot me a text.
Be well all! 😘ANNUAL TRANSITION FORUM
