Changes to air travel are long overdue. The National Accessibility Air Travel Summit is an important step in meaningful dialogue towards better service for passengers with disabilities. Now we need commitments and timelines #RightsOnFlights toronto.ctvnews.ca/video/c29…

A year ago @AirCanada broke my wheelchair beyond repair stripping me of my independence, mobility and health.
In a video on social media I pleaded for an end to the discrimination and harm of disabled passengers. #RightsOnFlights – at Toronto, Ontario

The @Air4All system will enable ♿️ users - power or manual - to ✈️ in our chairs. Obvs not for everyone - I’d only do so short-haul & we still need accessible toilets on board - but for many, it’s a game changer. I tried it out at the @VirginAtlantic HQ today. @flyingdisabled 👊🏻

A disabled passenger literally strapped in and stranded on an aisle chair. Absurd. #RightsOnFlights

I have had to spend a lot more money, extend trips, and make drastic changes to my travel plans all to reduce the amount of flights I need to take.
Why am I doing this?
All in order to reduce the risk of damage to my wheelchair and physical pain I must endure when traveling.

Broadly speaking, this type of accident is more common than we think in the Far East due to cultural non acceptance of disability as an integral part of the human landscape. I will approach my contact with Thai authorities to see if there is an opening for redress.

“If I spent time reporting damage for every wheelchair getting scratched, dashed or dented I'd never leave the airport." @WCTravelOrg says his chair is damaged on 50% of flights.
