Candy B. Harrington - "The US Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) was first adopted in 1986. Over the years, this very basic piece of civil rights legislation has been amended many times, to reflect changes in technology, equipment and air travel in general.

The most recent update, on May 13, 2009, gives disabled passengers additional rights and further expands the reach of the law. Ultimately these changes will make air travel more accessible to many people.

...And although the new law stopped short of requiring airline Web sites to be accessible, airlines must now offer disabled passengers the same discounted Web-only fares even if booking by phone or other accessible reservation method."
