Hello web aim experts,

The blind community in my country is having serious online access from a
home-grown airline website.Developers in my country are NOT trained in
building for accessibility and there are no blind developers locally to
provide advice so I hope you can help.

Can you please recommend accessible J Query apps for choosing flight
destinations and accessible calendar to choose dates for flight tickets
for this website:

www.airasia.com/asia

Our blind community had met with the airline staff a number of times to
show them the accessibility problems screen reader users faced and they
did make adjustments but the most serious problems for online flight
bookings still remain. Now, the web staff at the airline are ignoring
request for more meetings with us. I suspect the local developers have
reached the limits of their capabilities. I do hope the accessibility
experts here can provide some tips on how to make the website more
accessible so we can provide some useful info to those who are working
on the site.

This is a low cost airline, making it a more affordable choice for the
blind here.

Thank you

Best regards,

Tania
