Today, disability advocates said their safety & dignity are at risk when they travel by air. Despite admitting he has to power to intervene, the Liberal minister prefers to leave it to CEOs to manage. That’s failed for 20 years & won't work now. #Disability #RightsOnFlights

Why is flying STILL a nightmare for disabled people? ✈️😡 In my BBC interview, I break down the barriers disabled travellers face every day and how the #RightsOnFlights campaign is fighting for change. It's time to make air travel accessible for EVERYONE. 🛫💜 #AccessibleTravel

Well. @AirCanada left my chair in Toronto. I’m now without my essential equipment. Independence taken away. I’m furious. Unacceptable. #RightsOnFlights

I’m at the #AirSummit today in Ottawa and right off the top, a terrific idea from @CNIB Board Chair Robert Fenton to address #RightsOnFlights - table top exercises to show staff the right way to ensure #Accessibility. More to come.

On the way down to London for a couple Of days. Attending a #rightsonflights event at Westminster hosted by @sophmorgTV this afternoon and delivering a motivational speech tomorrow. Rest of the time I’ll either be eating or shopping. Looking forward to returning to @CambiodTercio

Les personnes handicapées, en particulier celles qui se déplacent en fauteuil roulant, sont régulièrement victimes de discriminations et de violations de leurs droits dans les transports aériens. La campagne #RightsOnFlights appelle à des changements significatifs.

This is outrageous. They want her to pay for a seat for her Guide Dog! #RightsOnFlights
Because I'm blind, an airline is saying I have to sit alone. We booked side-by-side seats. But when they found out I'm blind, they separated us. They're claiming it's their policy 1/7 #RightsOnFlights

Good morning from the @icao / @IATA Symposium on Accessibility in Air Travel. I’m participating in this historic international convening to address #RightsOnFlights for disabled passengers.

This 👇 Dogs get more rights on planes than our legs. Another reminder of how far down the pecking order we are. #rightsonflights @RightsOnFlights
@domdyer70 Great news 🐾 🙌🏻 also want to remind people on here that wheelchair users still have to put their legs in cargo with peoples' luggage & hope for the best!

Can't wait for this @sophmorgTV #RightsOnFlights documentary. This bruise was just one of the injuries I sustained the last time I flew and was almost dropped by staff. Not the first time.
Many of you know I’ve travelled to loads of countries for both work and pleasure, even writing a book about my adventures. Flying has always been an anxious part of these trips. Last November, I flew to Bologna airport to speak in San Marino for the World Tourism Organisation's

Great to meet @sophmorgan & representatives from the aviation industry with @Keir_Starmer to discuss Sophie's #RightsOnFlights campaign. Labour will ensure we put inclusion and co-production at the heart of everything we do.

I met Christopher Wood from @RightsOnFlights last month to hear from him about the importance of making air travel more accessible for disabled people. I look forward to working with Christopher on this issue in the weeks and months ahead, including... (1/2)

I first flew in 1986. On that flight i was dropped injuring myself & my wheelchair was broken. The last time I flew I was dropped, breaking my leg & my wheelchair was broken too. I decided to stop flying at that point, shrinking my world & career. #RightsOnFlights
