- Nesta Rees has described her recent holiday as a "nightmare" after a series of failures at the airport and on her flight. From being charged a fee to sit with her son to having her vital £350 mobility scooter battery confiscated at the gate, the experience left her feeling humiliated and stripped of her independence.
After 10 years of travelling with the same equipment without issue, Nesta was told just minutes before boarding that her spare battery wasn't allowed on board. The ordeal, which included a 4-hour wait at the airport, meant she was limited to a 10-mile range on her scooter and had to rely on taxis for the duration of her trip. Nesta says the experience highlighted a complete lack of empathy for disabled travellers.

The legal definition of the offence can include a wide range of conduct, including sharing confidential financial information, financial misconduct, wilful neglect of duty, and sexual misconduct.
