# §382.33. May carriers impose other restrictions on passengers with a disability that they do not impose on other passengers?

- (a) As a carrier, you must not subject passengers with a disability to restrictions that do not apply to other passengers, except as otherwise permitted in this part (e.g., advance notice requirements for certain services permitted by [§ 382.27](/cfr/14/382.27.md)).
- (b) Restrictions you must not impose on passengers with a disability include, but are not limited to, the following:
  - (1) Restricting passengers” movement within the terminal;
  - (2) Requiring passengers to remain in a holding area or other location in order to receive transportation, services, or accommodations;
  - (3) Making passengers sit on blankets on the aircraft;
  - (4) Making passengers wear badges or other special identification (e.g., similar to badges worn by unaccompanied minors); or
  - (5) Otherwise mandating separate treatment for passengers with a disability, unless permitted or required by this part or other applicable Federal requirements.
