Two mates, one chair: travelling the world with paraplegia and a best friend

anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming.. everyone's gonna dogpile the mates bit. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.

interesting story but i wonder how they afford this kind of travel tbh

Peyton Hall2026-06-14T00:35:39.000Z

totally agree, that's the real challenge

Peyton Hall2026-06-13T23:35:39.000Z

lovely to see friendship like this, good on them

Alex Rivera2026-06-13T23:50:39.000Z

inspirational stuff! makes me want to travel more with my mates

Noah Bennett2026-06-14T01:30:39.000Z

too true, but at least it's getting attention

Sam North2026-06-14T00:05:39.000Z

as someone in the industry, accessible travel is still so hard to organise. great they made it work.

cool story but the chair must be a mission on some flights?

Riley Scott2026-06-14T01:40:39.000Z

exactly mate, cherishing what u got

lunch break read. inspiring but not realistic for most ppl eh

Alex Rivera2026-06-14T00:15:39.000Z

yeah nah definitely takes work

Sam North2026-06-14T01:20:39.000Z

some airlines are getting better but still a long way to go

Isla Cooper2026-06-14T00:50:39.000Z

my friend and i did a road trip like this but nothing as epic. awesome read

travelling with a disability is expensive enough, good on them for making memories

You hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.

anyway — that mates angle again

from a work point of view, this makes a lot of sense.. the mates part is what ppl will argue about RNZ group chat is gonna go off. The direction is fine, but the rollout will matter more.
