First, I was struck this morning by the new airplane! Have ya heard? The Boeing 787 was unveiled today and among it’s touted features…a wheelchair accessible bathroom! Before I proclaimed “Hallelujah!” at this news, I did stop to ponder the fact that my wheelchair has to be loaded in cargo after I board the plane, so how would I get to this lovely lavatory? The blogger for Wheelchair Diffusionagrees and there’s a cool pic of the actual bathroom if you’re interested. Before we regress to full walker bashing, I must say that according to this picture below, the aisles do look large enough to fit some chairs-so maybe JUST maybe, the airlines have (or are quickly pulling together) a plan for some sort of loaner onboard chair. Either way, I’m happy with the extra room. For some reason, my smallness seems to make others feel that they can take up whatever excess room in MY seat I don’t seem to be using at the moment!

I've found a pic that looks like a chair would fit down the aisles so maybe there's a plan of some sort (feeling optimistic tonight!). www dot karasheridan dot com www.karasheridan.com Just blogged about this too (and mentioned/linked your post)…feel free to stop by and check it out.
