Hi Amanda,
Thanks for letting me know the information in the review has been helpful.
Snarky comments sadly seem to be part of the parcel of giving a review. People always feel there is a hidden agenda. I can only let people know how my experience was on a particular day.
Julie

I’m not wheelchair bound but do travel with specific assistance due to mobility issues; I’m also plus sized so it’s good to know.

I can’t believe some of these snarky comments; you were straight up in your review.

So many are old which isn’t helpful. We are headed out next month

Hi Kate,
I’d love to have some association with the airlines and therefore receive some kind of extra special treatment. That’s certainly not the case. I publish a travel magazine but I book through a regular travel agent and the airline has no idea of the work I do. To be frank, they don’t care, I’m a small fish writing about accessible tourism. I explained the situation exactly as it happened. I was refused any help with seating until I asked the cabin crew on boarding, so there was no preferential treatment at check in.
Happy travels to you in the future.
Julie

Based on my experience and those I know these politely presented requests rarely if ever result in a good result. However the fact you were carrying travel magazines in your additional suitcase is a give away you’re in the industry.

The bassinet row with no screaming babies is hardly an economy travel experience.

HI Anon,

Yep, first world problem for sure but people want to know what they get and I’m telling them. If I write an entirely positive review I’m accused of being paid by the airline, which I am not I care for a son with a disability so I work hard every single day so I look forward to all the treats when I travel. If that makes me a princess then so be it.

Happy travels.

Julie
