It is very difficult to reconcile with how inaccessible the airline and airport industries still are in 2022.  Many people with disabilities do not have access to a toilet when on a flight, how demeaning. Do you think you could hang on for multiple hours until you arrive at a destination? Many people don't have a choice.    Contact Peta: Instagram @petahooke The website: www.icantstandpodcast.com Email: icantstandpodcast@gmail.com Episode Transcript    References for this episode  Planning for travel with a disability Melbourne Airport Disabled Passenger Information  The Skybus Disability Access Facilitation Plan The Hidden Disability Program  Air Travel for People with a Disability  Meeting the needs of disabled air passengers: Factors that facilitate help from airlines and airports A framework for evaluating the European airline costs of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility An examination of disability-related complaints in the United States commercial aviation sector Supporting the needs of special assistance (including PRM) passengers: An international survey of disabled air passenger rights legislation Extending Airline Transportation Accommodations to People With Disabilities Flying with impairments: improving airline practices by understanding the experiences of people with disabilities An exploratory study of the experiences of wheelchair users as aircraft passengers – implications for policy and practice The Evaluation of Barrier-Free Airports for Disabled Passengers: The Example of Erzincan Airport Air Travelers with Disabilities: A Growing Population: Expectations versus Reality Passengers with Reduced Mobility in Air Travel The right to travel by air of persons with disabilitiesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are many other more important things happening in this world but I hope by sharing this story other disabled people won't have to go through a similar experience.  Mistakes happen.
