Once my mum sat in the companion seat with me in the w/c space & dad on the other side! Have you heard back? Also when I book for the Vector I'm always told only 1 person can sit with me!

People who have disabilities are no different to those that are able bodied, yet are discriminated against and told we 'can't do stuff' almost every day! Good on you Red, go for it!

It's about time these places including the Cinemas have more respect for the disabled persons and allow them to be with there family and friends when at a theatre or a movie. I've had a similar situation when I was going to the IMAX to see LOTR's, with my brother and his wife. I too think you should go to Fair Go That sux!!!
