Sophie Morgan’s Fight to Fly review – the degradation of disabled people is jaw-dropping

www.theguardian.com Sophie Morgan’s Fight to Fly review – the degradation of disabled people is jaw-dropping

From the women manhandled out of their wheelchairs to the man forced to drag himself along a plane floor, this searing documentary is packed with horrors that will be painfully familiar to many people with disabilities

This documentary highlights the horrible treatment people with disabilities experience when they try to fly. It is common for people with disabilities to have their mobility devices broken by the airline or to be manhandled into a seat. We need an Ed Roberts-like figure to take on the big airline corporations to make them provide a humane experience. Each airline should offer an accessible wheelchair seat and train their staff to value all their customers.
