Well well well. This thread got well and truly buried, did it not?
I guess the unsaid MO'L view of transporting the elderly and not so mobile is the way the industry wants to leave it, then?
My Dad drives but he can barely walk thesedays. He is still too independent to bother with a disabled badge for his car.
I'd very much like to tempt him on a LCC flight or two, but in the absence of any industry intention to embrace the new regulation, I must keep my mouth shut for fear of risking serious incovenience and embarassment to my father for daring to believe the country might be ready to provide him with this right of freedom, and to myself in making a no fuss service happen to the letter of the law.
Oh well, another time, another generation perhaps ...
