Because I'm blind, an airline is saying I have to sit alone. We booked side-by-side seats. But when they found out I'm blind, they separated us. They're claiming it's their policy 1/7 #RightsOnFlights

Today, disability advocates said their safety & dignity are at risk when they travel by air. Despite admitting he has to power to intervene, the Liberal minister prefers to leave it to CEOs to manage. That’s failed for 20 years & won't work now. #Disability #RightsOnFlights

What a privilege it has been to be invited with Sarah Prager to the Rights on Flights event at the House of Commons today to launch the Assisted Air Travel bill - stay tuned for a Dekagram discussing it! #rightsonflights Deka Chambers

Day 4 of our saga. Not our chair in pic - but at 7th attempt we at least managed to hire one! So today was easier. And yes EasyJet now messaging and calling. (Haven't found our chair - yet.) Thanks to all for your ongoing support, without which etc. etc.

I am here this morning at the National Air Accessibility Summit hosted by Pablo Rodriguez and Kamal Khera to address the barriers disabled passengers face in air travel in Canada.

The disability community and air travel industry is around the table.

#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.

I’m seated next to a unique passenger on my flight today. Check out my travel wheelchair seat strapped right on board! #RightsOnFlights

Air Canada has picked the wrong wheelchair to be careless with. #RightsOnFlights

Today in Ottawa we are speaking about the barriers that disabled passengers face in air travel.

Folks around the table, disability, government and industry, are sharing remarks but more importantly we are pressing for tangible change and meaningful impact.

#RightsOnFlights

People with disabilities, and particularly people who use wheelchairs, routinely face discrimination and rights violations in air travel.
