I have a friend (liz) who is Disabled and wheelchair bound.
She is unable to bend her legs or move her arms further than things on her lap or by her side.
She sits/lies in a relaxed/recline position due to Arthuritus and has had all of her joints replace twice (shoulders,elbows,hips,knees,ankles).

were having the exact same problem!

She cannot fit into a Economy seat, and also some Biz class seats are not suitable, as are some First class seats.

Liz flew VS Upper a few yrs back in the old J2000 Upper class seat(discount allowed from Sir RB) and this was Excellent for her .(front row 6) boeing 747 when the single seat had been removed from A zone.

Generally most people think that Disabled people can just sit upright in a Econ seat and are most surprised to see Liz in her large electricm chair with extended leg rests!

will this new EU ruling help us in anyway to gain access to Airlines without being charged an arm and a leg (so to speak)????
