    My son is 5yrs old and visually impaired. I learn so much from you and your channel. A big positive I noticed was when the flight attendant asked if she could take your hand to lead you to your seat. Sometimes people don't ask and just grab!

    Glad you made it without too many issues!! You picked good seats as well. I'm sure that helped.

    Molly is a star, what a wonderful dog. I agree, the airlines need to standardise.

    You did it! Yay! 🎉😄👏🏻
    Well done Lucy, Molly and Ollie the cameraman.
    Thanks so much for doing this video, Lucy.
    Do you think you can do one about your trip to America next?
    That would be so awesome!
    Have a safe journey

    So glad that the flight went well. Hopefully they will update their guidelines to make the more standardized. If the airplane harness something that the airline had or did that come from the school where you got Molly?

    You're lucky you got a fiance and Miss Molly. I can't tell from my left from my right most of the time. Instead of little brain farts I just have one continuous one going on right now.

      You should see me when I get fibromyalgia fog. I'll literally be staring into space without processing what's in front of me. I'm now going to call that a continuous brain fart.
      The rest of the time I just get constant little brain farts.

    Bit strange that they had you either side of the aisle… did they have seat B for mollie? I was expecting 2 people to be sat next to you in a&b…. My concern would be if them people didn’t like dogs and made a fuss etc. I know you are used to this happening but it can’t make you feel good in yourself.

      @@danielledewitt1 I’m only asking as I have a support dog and haven’t flown in years, just would like to know what would happen in situations. As I’ve had it in shops with my support dog that people freak out and leave but obviously on a plane that don’t happen. And with me being autistic I freak out if others do lol and I can’t help it obviously- I know people are scared of dogs. But I also know that I’ve been asked not to take her in to places- if she don’t go I dont go so it’s their loss- aswell as mine. But I am only going out coz I have her. And people don’t see that.

      @@danielledewitt1 I dont know, some people are terrified of dogs because they've been attacked in the past..
      But I'm sure there would be someone on the plane who would be willing to swap. I for one would be delighted to have a doggy sitting at my feet the whole flight!
      And I think it could be highly therapeutic for those who are afraid of flying.

      ​@@FightingIncorrectStereotypesYeah exactly, feel bad about the inaccessibility and discrimination that makes living life as a disabled person harder than it should be, as those are the issues we face, and be an ally in that you could bring others' attention to these things who might not otherwise know.
