The Secretary of State has refused to legislate or fund implementation of the report by the Aviation Accessibility Task and Finishing Group. I don’t know about you, but I feel this refusal will lead to a missed opportunity to resolve the issues.

A good friend has started a Parliamentary petition and would appreciate your support to launch it. He needs 20 signatories for it to go live – will you sign it?

Legislate implementation of the Aviation Accessibility Report recommendations.

There have been many incidents of airports and airlines delivering substandard access and assistance to disabled passengers. These were highlighted in evidence to the Aviation Accessibility task and finishing group who have made recommendations to rectify and prevent such issues.

This Government must legislate that the recommendations in the report are implemented. We call on this Government to ensure that these recommendations are fully funded. We also call on this Government to work with their counterparts globally to ensure all airlines comply to the standards recommended. Failure to fully funded implementation of the report will be a missed opportunity to improve aviation accessibility for disabled travellers and continued substandard access provision.

✈️ 16 million new airline seats released today! ✈️

You may have heard whispers from Martin Lewis that eayJet seat release was imminent… well the rumours are true! They’ve just released 16 million new airline seats, a whole 6 weeks earlier than last year! This means we can get ahead in planning and booking package holidays for our customers up until 31 October 2026, now with even more availability – including over 1 million airline seats added for BRS, MAN and LTN and over 3 million seats added for LGW 💺🧳

What does this early release mean for us? You have more choice of accessible rooms available and with a low deposit of £60pp why not book as early as possible so you have something to look forward to?

BIG NEWS - WE ARE ON RADIO 4 - PRE-RECORDING TODAY. MORE INFO ON RELEASE DATE TO FOLLOW

I'm going to be live on BBC Radio 4 with one of our brilliant customers, talking about our new research showing it’s easier for a family with a dog to find hotel info and a room than it is for a family with a disabled person.

I love my dog, but honestly—how is this still the case in 2025? Tune in and join the conversation!

Huge thanks to Cause Collective for championing this work and standing with us.

UPDATE - DELAYED UNTIL WEDNESDAY

Proud to be raising this on today! It’s shocking: finding pet-friendly rooms is still easier than finding honest info and room availability for disabled families. That needs to change. Listen in at midday to hear us and one of our lovely customers talking about our new research and experiences.

Big thanks to our PR agency for all your support! 🐶♿️

The latest CAA Airport Accessibility Performance Report for 2024/2025 was recently published, and we’ve taken a deep dive into the findings. These annual reports might not always paint a rosy picture, but they’re incredibly important—they help us improve our service and give disabled travellers vital info for planning their journeys.

Because of this year’s report, we’ve created a new internal protocol for Heathrow T3, which has been rated as "Needing Improvement" This includes looking at alternative options and an increased support service.

For any of our clients where the only option is to travel through Heathrow Terminal 3, we’ve also put together a simple, clear guide: “Travelling Through Heathrow Terminal 3: Your Essential Guide to Accessible Travel”. It’s designed to help you feel confident at every stage.

We’re sticking to our mission—Accessible Holidays at High Street Prices—with even more support, all completely free for our clients.

Our detailed analysis will be attached below—let us know if you have questions, or if you need extra guidance before you fly!

Why does it take so long to provide holiday quotes?

Sometimes it doesn’t and we find what customers want straight away, but sometimes it can take a lot longer:

1. Time of year: In high season, unapologetically we prioritise travellers. We need to ensure customers on holiday are looked after. We are still small, so bear with us in these busy times and if your enquiry is urgent then you can chase us up with a quick message on WhatsApp 07897426930

2. Hotel availability: The closer to the date of travel you contact us, the less availability there is and the harder it is to find options. We have to contact more hotels for availability and often hotels won’t provide information by phone so we have to wait for email responses. Sometimes they are new hotels to us so we have to check out the accessibility as well as wait for information on availability. Responses may result in us finding out the hotel isn’t suitable or doesn’t have availability so we have to start again. We need to make sure the hotel is right for you. For better availability, earlier is always better.

3. Locations: Some locations answer quicker than others. Spain can be same day, Africa can be a week and parts of Asia we have to chase three or four times

4. Complexity: If the holiday is multi destination or contains multiple elements then this will take longer than a package to Spain. We may have to contact multiple suppliers and review some of them.

5. Training: We have a lovely new member of staff Jasmine. We need to train her to be the best she can be for you, which takes time. Honestly she is already like a super agent ,with sending quotes and is an amazing addition.

6. Advocacy: This business was never just about us earning an income from working in something we love to do. We want to change the industry and to do this we need to take time away from the business to fight for change. We are on various airport panels, accessibility projects and we visit with suppliers to push for change. We have a fantastic PR company who help us with campaigns. News on one of these Monday.

If we take time, we are sorry and hope you understand 🙏

Today we got a lovely email from a lady we had quoted a holiday for who was looking to help her dad go away on holiday.

She didn’t want to proceed because her dad didn’t feel he was ready to fly. That’s okay, it can take time and we get the feeling of overwhelm and fear the thought of flying can have.

So why are we posting about a holiday we aren’t booking? We really appreciated her letting us know and we were able to suggest some helpful tips to help her dad for the future. Often when we contact customers to find out what they thought, our emails go unanswered and our calls are rejected. That’s really disheartening and we don’t learn from this. It also means people miss out on potential advice or signposting to alternative suppliers for UK or group holidays.

Every contact we have with you is a learning opportunity for us. Although we all have a lived experience of disability, everyone is different, so every day we learn from you and that helps us improve and helps us help other people.

So if we give you a quote, don’t be afraid to tell us it’s not right, that you’ve found something somewhere else, that it’s not the right time for you. It’s okay. We are gifted with something positive in every interaction we have whether it’s good or not so good.

We love to hear from you so stay in touch 🥰
