Air Travel

It appears that flying easyJet isn't exactly that easy, especially if you're a wheelchair-user. This same UK airline that stranded a wheeler in Lourdes earlier this year, once again earned the ire of disability advocates for denying a Paralympian passage last week.

In an effort to investigate four separate complaints from people with severe allergies, The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) may very well expand the legal definition of "disability". The issue on the table will be if allowing pets to ride in airline passenger compartments represents an undue obstacle for people who have severe pet allergies. And if medical evidence proves it does, then the CTA may classify "severe allergies" as a disability.
