    Thats the same with most airlines not just air france. Although if they phrased it the way it was reported then it was a bit cheeky.

    I used to work in spinal care and I've had paralised clients who I've travelled with. One guy couldn't move from the neck down and was promised an aisle seat with extra leg room and when we got there they said they give priority to mothers and babies. British airways gave him a middle seat and repeatedly questioned his abiolity to get into it. After we explained to them about 20 times that NO he could not walk and NO he could not even support his own weight, they told us that he was a fire hazard and then left us feeling like a big inconvenience. When we finally got the seat swapped we were then informed that the airline wasn't insured to allow his carers (me and his wife) to transfer him into the seat and that we would have to wait for a member of british airways staff. This delayed the plane by an hour and when they finally sent a skinny guy who must have been about 80! We just ignored them in the end and transferred him ourselves

    Travelling when disabled is NO fun!!

    Oh aye! Just make me out to be the bad guy like! :p

    It's Christmas eve and Paul and Heather are sat around the Xmas tree.

    Paul says to Heather, "Right it's Christmas eve and in this house you can open one present before we go to bed."

    And he hands her this really large oddly wrapped present. She opens it to find a false leg.

    "This better not be it." She says.

    "Oh no love, it's just a stocking filler."
