Guardians
IMPORTANT ID NOTE: Pursuant to a TSA security change, beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant/state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or another acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. Learn more about how to obtain an Arizona Travel ID.
Honor Flight Arizona would not be successful without the generous support of our Guardians. Guardians are volunteers who travel with the Veterans to Washington, D.C. They ensure that every Veteran has a safe and memorable experience.
Duties include, but are not limited to, physically assisting the Veterans at the airports, during the flight and at the memorials. Please know that this is a physically taxing trip and that Guardians need to be in good health. PLEASE NOTE: wives, husbands or significant others of Veterans may not participate as Guardians for their husband or wife.
The images above illustrate some of the duties that are required of Guardians: locking and unlocking the wheels of the wheelchair before a Veteran gets up or sits down; pushing a Veteran approximately five miles (not all in one stretch, total for the day), including up inclines, sidewalk ramps, and through doorways; assist Veterans as they board (and exit) the bus multiple times during the day.
From the moment the veterans are in our hands until we return them to their loved ones, Guardians are asked to treat these heroes as if they are family and ensure that every veteran has a safe and honoring experience. In return, when you spend time with these veterans, you will experience the trip of a lifetime!
*****************
The Guardian fee is $1300 if you’re flying with us, round-trip, from Phoenix.
The Guardian fee is $500 if you’re meeting us at Baltimore-Washington (BWI).
Paying Your Guardian Fee (You will be sent a link after you are contacted by Honor Flight AZ and scheduled for a trip.)
The Guardian fee includes airfare, accommodations, meals, transportation, tips, etc. You do not need to bring any money, unless you intend to purchase souvenirs.
