Port Columbus is one of the worst airports for people with disabilities. Shuttle availability, as well as wheelchairs, are limited and not always around when you need one. For someone with a disability, standing for 15-30 minutes in the pathetically understaffed security checkpoint is painful and exhausting. And that's just for starters. Last May I flew back from Minneapolis on Northwest. The gate is in the far back corner of Concourse B. It took a full hour for me to limp, rest, and limp some more from the gate to Baggage Claim and then underneath all the way to Ground Transport to catch the shuttle to the Blue Lot. The people mover was out of service in the passage between Baggage Claim and Ground Transportation and there was nowhere to sit and rest. I'm flying out to Minneapolis for Christmas and I'm actually driving to a different city to an airport that's more reliably ADA-compliant. I will avoid flying out of Port Columbus whenever possible.
