Hi @reduced mobility
Holds hands up
I did post the follow up to this but I think I posted it in my haste, and when battling fatigue if I am honest, on a different forum, New Dx perhaps. Sometimes I even amaze myself.
I am trying to understand this situation, what it means to fly when you are disabled and a wheelchair user and get some points of view from other MSers, I am not blaming anyone or the airline.
Glad you had a good experience, Ellie. I also flew without a problem w/ RyanAir. But, I made all arrangements and took responsibility for ensuring everything I could for a good experience which was time consuming and arduous but worth it. So I didn’t expect trouble or bother and I didn’t experience any trouble or bother, if only life was that simple!
