@Matt_Lester @ThaiAirways @martynsibley All done

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

@ThaiAirways You have problem looming, a wheelchair traveller is booked to fly with you in two weeks. All contact with his query is met by bots and/or promises of a call back that does not happen - can you help. #RightsOnFlights @martynsibley

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

This is such an important landmark. Thank you @danfrancis02 for pushing this agenda in parliament. #RightsOnFlights

[Daniel Francis MP @danfrancis02]

On Tuesday I proposed my Aviation Accessibility Bill to make flying accessible for disabled passengers, and end the unfair cap on compensation for damage to wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Here is part one of my speech 👇

Thank you @danfrancis02 ....lets get rid of barriers to flying and more business for airlines...#RightsOnFlights

[Daniel Francis MP @danfrancis02]

Delighted that my 10 Minute Rule Bill on Aviation Accessibility passed its first reading today! 📜

Thank you to everyone that has sent supportive messages - I will continue to work with campaigners to ensure that these measures are passed into law.

Thank you @danfrancis02 for an excellent 10 minute rule bill, you captured everything..#RightsOnFlights

[Daniel Francis MP @danfrancis02]

Today’s the day!

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

What a mind blowing few days at @blueorigin discussing accessible passenger space flight. Thank you.

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

Glad to see the engagement from #Rightsonflights team has produced positive engagement from @LouHaigh and her team. @sophmorgTV @ReducedMobility

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

I am quietly confident @LouHaigh and @Tanni_GT will move the dial on safe and dignified air travel for disabled passengers. We are not asking for the world, just to fly around it! #RightsOnFlights

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

@danfrancis02 Thank you Daniel, it was great to meet again at the HoL..

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

Super evening listening to @Tanni_GT and @LouHaigh at the ATPC. Change in accessible aviation is coming for the better. The AATA will now be front and centre, unless we change legislation it all stays the same #RightsOnFlights

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret House of Lords: I made an application to the HoL in Jan this year (awaiting interview). I read Ian Dunt’s book – How Westminster Works etc.. It's clear the HoL does a valued job for MP's, to get rid of the HoL would be a parliamentary/constitutional challenge – your thoughts?

[Christopher Wood MBE @flyingdisabled]

@LouHaigh @SecretaryPete @LouHaigh The UK-US relationship is an extremely important one, I know Accessible Air Travel is high on the @SecretaryPete list. @RightsOnFlights is already engaged in the US. @ReducedMobility @sophmorgTV
