Channel 4 broadcast Fight to Fly last week, it is a deeply upsetting watch to see fellow humans being treated with such lack of decency. Laws and attitudes towards disabled people need to change - help raise awareness and support the Rights on Flights campaign.

This kind of #disability based #discrimination by airlines has to end!👇 Will be interesting to see the outcome of your complaint.

Haben Girma👩🏿‍🦯: 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

This is a much needed campaign, I’ve been avoiding flying abroad since the pandemic began as I’m blind/ a wheelchair user and I’ve heard so many horror stories. We’ve booked flights for later in the year and it’s already making me feel anxious as I’m so out of practice! | ‘After her wheelchair was broken on a British Airways flight in February, TV presenter Sophie Morgan has launched a campaign with Disability Rights UK. Called #RightsOnFlights - its goal is to improve the airline experience for all passengers with disabilities.’
