A story that has been around in the media this week is that of Samanta Bullock, who I know. She was told she was not allowed to fly because she was travelling on her own. The airline disputes that. Also, I think she was told she was not allowed any help in the bathroom or in an emergency. I will leave that case there, but I have had my own experiences of being told that I would not receive help in an emergency. I know that, as a disabled person, if something happened to the plane, my chances of getting off are severely limited. That is why, when I was travelling on my own with my daughter, I taught her, from the age of three, how to put her oxygen mask on, what an exit looked like and how to get off a plane, because if anything happened, she was going to be on her own.
