Group Description
The flying with a disability group is here to ensure that all those living with a disability can travel freely, comfortably, and confidently. Here, you can engage with a dynamic and supportive group of individuals who understand the challenges and nuances of flying with a disability.
We covers a wide range of topics that include advice on navigating various airports, tips on checking you wheelchair or mobility device, and the latest news on airline policies and services. You can also share personal experiences, exchange stories, and ask any questions you may have about flying in a wheelchair or with a mobility device.
Members are encouraged to share practical solutions and innovative ideas to make air travel a smooth and pleasant journey for everyone. We believe that disability should never be a barrier to exploring the skies. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or preparing for your first flight, our group is here to empower your journey. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!

I’m not sure, but I think almost all international flights with on planes with two aisles have them now by law… where are you flying from? What is the airline?

I Went Undercover to Report For 'Sophie Morgan's Fight to Fly' Documentary
I joined Sophie Morgan's Fight to Fly documentary to reveal the harsh realities of air travel for disabled passengers and to highlight the ongoing fight for a more inclusive and accessible flying experience.
I was asked for a lot of personal information to view this documentary. I didn’t feel comfortable filling it all out. Is there another way to watch this?
