With the recent highlights of the difficulties faced by wheelchair users at LHR including the loss of Frank Gardiner's chair
https://inews.co.uk/news/frank-gardn...st-wheelchair/
and the undertaking given by LHR to start delivering wheelchairs at the aircraft door rather than baggage reclaim I was left wondering about the increase problems faced by people with restricted mobility in the 'densified' cabins.
I'm a pretty big guy - was a rugby prop once and I find aircraft toilets a pretty tight fit and getting smaller, goodness only knows how someone who needs some degree of assistance manages with the new even more cramped space flex cabins with their 'enhanced' toilet facilities.
At present of course the Montreal Convention prevents the taking of any action against an airline while the disabled person is actually on the aircraft - almost as though they are tolerated but not welcome but surely this cannot last and better facilities must be provided.?

The people at Airbus clearly thought about them. Now it's just a matter of thinking about the world population getting increasingly fatter...

Thank you.
So just to clarify or at least curb some of the speculation, once BA get a NEO delivered (which I understand is imminent) then it may be the case these speculative pain points mentioned here could appear, i.e lack of recline or no recline, lesser pitch etc. Or it’s not the doom & gloom that BAFT makes out...unusually
as @tedcruz has shown with his report today.
Therefore was this all just simply a change of the back galley/toilets plus an extra row(s) (space flex) and the rest of cabin is business as usual with newer interiors?

BAFT being what it is, I'm sure we won't have to wait long for someone to report back.
