EU to airlines: No discrimination against passengers with disabilities

Take that Ryanair and your ilk! The EU has passed legislation "that will prevent airlines from refusing to accept disabled people onto flights," says the Harrow Times. The article acknowledges the inspiration came from celebrated cases such as Ryanair kicking off nine visually impaired passengers because there were too many disabled people on one flight. While your first instinct may be to just get by without a commotion this law shows sometimes making a fuss pays dividends -- eventually. (photo via morgueFile.com)
