Why is the freedom to travel in 2023 still an unconscious privilege for many, while disabled passengers journey on with the simple aim of "getting there" in tow?
They say it’s not the destination but the journey that counts. I say this as a disabled person and a parent of disabled children – and as someone working to reclaim the "unconscious travel" I experienced before disability entered my life.
To hop on a plane without thinking about the physical and mental effort involved is still a privilege only truly appreciated by those forced to consider how to overcome every physical and mental touchpoint on that trip.
