I am acting as a witness today at the House of Commons at 12pm ET on the topic of air travel as experienced by disabled people. You can tune in live online ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer… #RightsOnFlights
@campbellclaret If you read one book on campaigning, make sure it is this one!!. I have learnt a lot over my years of campaigning, I can now add this to my learning. AC reminds us he's played with some great footballers (AGAIN!) #Persevilience #WheelchAIRtravel #RightsOnFlights
@trolliebobs @TrulyWheelyMe @British_Airways Think friend is going to look into insurance but doesn't have it currently and tbh shouldn't need it. Airlines need to STOP trashing mobility aids. #RightsOnFlights.
Read down. The response from @AmericanAir calls her missing wheelchairs as an inconvenience. Where is the outrage that they immobilized someone for hours? This is pathetic but not unusual. The punishment should be immobilizing the CEO for the same amount of time. #RightsOnFlights

A friend has had her powerchair damaged on a BA flight from the USA to Heathrow. Wheelchair repair service say it is unsafe to use as the seat isn't secure. How does she force BA to pay for repair or replacement if it is a writeoff. Value is ~£1500 new. #RightsOnFlights
My wheelchair is ready for the eclipse #RightsOnFlights
My husband Alex @FreedomOneLife arrived @Airport_FRA to find his powerchair like this. Thankfully he deliberately designed the chair to be robust for air travel & the chair is fine but no one should be greeted by this scene. #rightsOnFlights #DisabilityTwitter
Being barred from the exit row is now a wheelchair user perk #RightsOnFlights

@IanDunt This book really resonates. In the 10 years I have lobbied Gov, I have engaged with numerous ministers. There is no continuity, drives me mad..!! But I keep going. One day I will get one that understands, listens and stays - it’s all just a photo op..#RightsOnFlights

@sampson_dog @AmericanAir That’s awful! #Ableism is death by a thousand cuts. People refer to this kind of thing as a micro aggression, but if you’re on the receiving end, it doesn’t seem small & it adds to anxiety. I am so sorry this was your experience. @AmericanAir DO BETTER! #RightsOnFlights ✊🏻♿️🐕🦺
We can build sky scrapers, satellites, moon rockets and self-driving cars. It is not impossible to make travel safe and accessible to disabled passengers. It is a choice. Nothing less. #accessibility #rightsonflights
I’m seated next to a unique passenger on my flight today. Check out my travel wheelchair seat strapped right on board! #RightsOnFlights
@GTWScar Check in with #rightsonflights they tend to have some good resources. I hope it goes well, as a service dog user I know it can be rough.
Super productive meeting with @vickyfoxcroft and @LouHaigh. There is a common desire to make accessible aviation safer and more dignified. Change is coming. @sophmorgTV @ReducedMobility @martynsibley @ableMoveUK #RightsOnFlights
Les personnes handicapées, en particulier celles qui se déplacent en fauteuil roulant, sont régulièrement victimes de discriminations et de violations de leurs droits dans les transports aériens. La campagne #RightsOnFlights appelle à des changements significatifs.
@jasonmccullar @SecretaryPete Let’s start here. pva.org/news-and-media… #RightsOnFlights If 31 legs or ankles were on average broken every day, you would want to fix that. To not see mobility devices as extensions of our bodies infers that people like me are disposable.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a new proposed rule that would ensure airline wheelchair passengers can travel safely & with dignity. Thank you Secretary Pete Buttigieg for shedding light on this issue. For more: globalgenes.org/blog/why-cant-… #RightsonFlights
