Access in Motion

For many disabled travellers, the biggest challenge isn’t the flight — it’s everything around it.

From check-in to boarding, from security queues to onboard seating, air travel can feel like a test of endurance rather than a gateway to adventure.

At Access Trails UK, we’re beginning to explore how airports and airlines can better support:

• Smooth transitions from arrival to gate
• Mobility equipment handling that’s safe, respectful, and informed
• Sunflower lanyards and quiet spaces for non-visible disabilities
• Assistance that empowers, not overwhelms
• Accessible loos and seating that don’t require a scavenger hunt

We’re also gathering tips from the community — like:

• Booking special assistance at least 48 hours in advance
• Using Tryb4uFly to test cabin layouts before flying
• Knowing your right to bring two pieces of mobility equipment free of charge
• Asking for pre-boarding and aisle chairs if needed

Have you had a flying experience that worked — or didn’t?
Was there a moment of ease, or a barrier that caught you off guard?

Share your story, your tip, or your go-to gear for flying with confidence.

And for the slower reflections and sky-high musings, Bloggyness is always boarding.
