Travel guidelines
TO travel alone, disabled people must be able to unfasten their seat belt, feed themselves and use the toilet unassisted.
The traveller must also be able to leave their seat and reach an emergency exit and put on an oxygen mask and lifejacket.
Passengers must also understand the safety briefing and any instructions given by the crew in emergency situations.
Under European law, disabled people and other people with reduced mobility have legal rights to assistance when travelling by air.
Those requiirements are way too stringent!
It hits not only those with mobility issues, but also those who are Deaf or Blind, or both. We fight for independence only to be told we need a nanny with us. I thought EU law prevented this kind of thing?
