A round-up of the latest news in the world of wheelchair travel, including a wheelchair user forced to sleep on an airport floor, a blind passenger put on the wrong flight and a pilot takes on airline executives over the shrinking size of airplane lavatories.
A loophole allowed Delta to fly Boeing 747 aircraft long distances without an accessible lavatory for nearly 30 years. It was time for this monarchy to end.
Accessibility tends to increase with the passage of time, but that's not true on many new airplanes where the needs of wheelchair users are an afterthought (at best).
