My cousin was denied boarding by @British_Airways because he’s disabled.
Staff said he took “too long to board” last time.
He was ignored, humiliated & sent out alone.
No refund. No accountability.
Please RT if this isn’t OK.

Here’s the full story.
No one should be treated this way for needing help.

My disabled cousin was denied boarding by @British_Airways in Cairo:told he took “too long to board” last time.Left humiliated and dehumanised. BA professes regret while even refusing refund!This is what discrimination looks like in 2025.

@British_Airways #DisabilityRights @Mik_Scarlet @DougPaulley @TransportforAll @WheelchairTrav @EHRC @BBCWatchdog Beggars belief that after my cousin is denied travel,dehumanised and mistreated by your staff BA only has an empty apology and refusal to even refund the ticket price.
@British_Airways Who do you think has told him this?Nothing conveys a sincere apology like “under the terms of carriage you can’t have a refund”. This is clear corporate indifference to discrimination#baaccessfail @DisRightsUK @Rachel_Dailey @EHRC @BBCWatchdog @MartynSibley
