Flew @porterairlines to Vancouver yesterday and was surprised to see a closet for personal wheelchairs inside the cabin 👍

But here’s the plot twist: I asked why I hadn’t been offered this space for my transport chair and was told they prefer to use it for cabin crew luggage.

50 points for saying the quiet part out loud, @porterairlines Minus a million points for following thru on accessibility initiatives.

Fortunately, Optimus Prime wasn’t damaged (always a concern when flying), tho for some reason he was soaking wet 🤔

If it’s raining, I’m not going…unless it’s from my door to the car. But it’s book tour szn and “indoor girl” isn’t always an option.

This @lululemon seated-fit rain poncho is cropped in the back and covers my knees while sitting. It’s lightweight, easy to get on and roomy enough for layers. Plus it’s super cute. And I got it on sale 🤩

On my way to Saskatchewan for the @festivalofwords 📚🤩

Feeling cautiously optimistic about new @aircanada initiatives for disabled travelers ✈️ 🤔

Optimistic bc @aircanada sent me a detailed email ahead of my trip with helpful tips about traveling with a wheelchair…Apparently you can track the location of your mobility aid in their app now 👏👏👏

Cautious bc most of the tips were about what to do if the airline effs up or loses your device 😬

See you in Moose Jaw, Trippers (hopefully with my Rollator intact)🤞😘
