Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program
SBN wants to ensure that everyone has a comfortable, fulfilling travel experience. Knowing that some of our travelers have physical and/or mental impairments that may not be visible is taken into very careful consideration, and we have enhanced our efforts to ensure that everyone has a superior experience.
SBN is a proud member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program! The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower acknowledges individuals with disabilities that are not immediately seen or obvious, also known as invisible disabilities. The program was created to provide a discreet way to make the invisible visible, and those who participate wear a sunflower lanyard or bracelet for easy recognition. The sunflower paraphernalia indicates to airport personnel that the wearer needs additional support, help, or a little more time.
Airport guests who would like to obtain a lanyard or bracelet can request them from the airline ticket counters, TSA, or the Airport Information Office located near baggage claim. More information about the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower can be found here.
