Please share – this isn’t acceptable!!!”In the clip, Jennie sat on the floor of the plane and used her arms to pull herself down the aisle from her seat to the loo.She commented: “Hi everyone, I’m Jennie, I’m a wheelchair user and I’m paralysed from the waist down.

I’ve recently been on holiday and this is how I get onto a plane usually using an aisle chair.”She cut to a clip of herself shifting from a wheelchair to a smaller seat with wheels – and aisle chair – with the aid of an airline worker.Jennie said: “This is what they got me onto the plane with but unfortunately on my flight they didn’t have an aisle chair on board.“So the flight with Albastar didn’t get off to a great start as you can see they wouldn’t let me sit anywhere near the front of the plane even though there were spare seats. “The wheelchair user continued: “Then when I asked if I could go to they toilet they said no, that they wouldn’t help and they just proceeded to keep serving the drinks… which was great. “Jennie showed herself getting into the lavatory – which took her partner reaching beneath her arms and tugging her onto the seat.She said: “This is when I actually got to the toilet, this is my partner helping lift me onto the toilet, obviously this is quite a small space so it was a bit of a struggle.“But, when you’ve gotta go you’ve gotta go.
