MemberI just discovered this YouTube video this morning which shows the accessibility on the Metro service in my hometown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5io392p6l0&t=339s
I had no idea that you can actually have a member of staff accompany you on your journey to ensure that the ramp is available at your destination. This video also made me feel…

Great to see this and thanks for sharing. It reflects the difference that a service adjustment can make for people who may need assistance which could be all of us at any time. Such an initiative does so much, it gives confidence and enables people, as well as empowering them to be able to travel independently or with friends and family.

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?

I had the fortune of traveling on Emirates many years ago and can attest to their superb service. I am glad they are expanding into enhancing the experience for disabled travelers too.

See, there was a time when I might have found all of that a bit cringe, but believe it or not, as I get older, I’m discovering my inner nerd, and I’m all for that escapism! I think I’d enjoy dressing up as a pirate
How about a tabifolk group cruise one year where we can have a costume competition? Hahaha!
I’ve never been on a cruise before, save for the mini-cruise that takes passengers from the UK to The Netherlands overnight – but it’s something I am increasingly considering and would be very interested in hearing about some of these themed nights!
