and yet, really FAT people can be charged for two seats. it is just plain business if you ask me. Whys hould anyone travel for free? it is not VIRGIN's fault that this person needs a carer. It is not up to virgin to provide free travel for everyone who needs a carer. What if I said I need a carer, but the carer is my wife? can she now travel for free? if so, then my holiday costs have just halved!
I do not wish to appear insensitive, but
VB is a BUSINESS!!! they make money out of selling air travel. selling seats at two for one, willnot help their profits.
What is next ? the "carer" gets free mcdonalds? maybe the bank can buy a house for the carer? maybe the petrol bill can be split in half, and the carer not be charged? what about TAX... is Peter costello gonna not charge the carer tax, or GST? NO! Why should an airline be singled out for this. It is no different to any other case.
