British journalist Frank Gardner, a war correspondent who lost his legs in a 2004 attack, faced a humiliating situation on a LOT Polish Airlines flight returning from Warsaw. Gardner was informed by the crew that the airline did not provide onboard wheelchairs, leaving him with no option but to crawl across the cabin floor to use the toilet. Gardner, a prominent BBC journalist, took to social media to express his outrage, calling the airline’s policy discriminatory toward disabled passengers. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by disabled travellers and raises questions about airline accessibility standards. LOT Polish Airlines has yet to comment on the incident.

British Journalist Forced to Crawl on LOT Polish Airlines
Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory. pic.twitter.com/aFuxo89DR5
