From Glasgow to Barcelona: Navigating Airports, Accessibility & Special Assistance
One of the biggest challenges of travelling as a wheelchair user is navigating airlines, airports, and special assistance. Here’s a summary of the ups and downs on our journey from Glasgow to Barcelona.
With recent developments like the FAA’s roadmap for wheelchair seating on airplanes and significant fines imposed on airlines for mistreating disabled passengers, do you feel that accessible travel is finally being taken more seriously? How quickly do you think the tourism industry will implement meaningful changes in accessibility?

I believe it will be a VERY long time until us wheelchair travellers will be able to travel just like any other person, i.e.. just book a ticket and turn up☹️

I don’t have any issues having to make arrangements ahead of time for my wheelchair. The thing that still puzzles me is how often I provide the information ahead of time and fill have to do it again when I get to the airport. I find few airlines have streamlined the flow of this information. Have others had similar experiences?
