Thank you!

We’re thrilled by the incredible response to our sensory bags - thank you for all the support, excitement, and shares!

Originally created for our very first Flight School event, these bags were thoughtfully designed to support travelers of all ages with sensory needs - including those who experience pre-flight anxiety, autism, or other sensory sensitivities. While we didn’t expect them to take off online (pun intended), we’re so grateful they did!

These sensory bags are part of our broader Hopkins Hospitality initiative, which aims to make travel more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive for everyone.

In addition to the bags, we also offer noise-reducing ear muffs (not Bluetooth headphones) in both adult and child sizes, available upon request.

If you or someone you’re traveling with has a hidden disability - such as anxiety, autism, or a chronic condition, we encourage you to pick up a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard offered at the same locations. Wearing this lanyard signals to airport staff that you may need a little extra time or support during your journey.

Sensory bags and sunflower lanyards are available at:

📍 Central Information Desk – Ticketing Level
📍 Welcome Information Desk – Baggage Claim Level

Happy travels! ✨
