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!

[@Sarah_Grant]

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.

[@nikkiisrael2708]

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 Have a glass of champagne on me. 🥂🍾

America is a 9 hour flight.

@@danielledewitt1 that depends on whereabouts in America one is flying to, wouldn’t you say?

@@nikkiisrael2708 Still a long flight for a dog.

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?

Guide Dogs are bigger heroes than Marvel could ever churn out.

It's funny, my grandparents like to fly with Swiss but I like British Airways more.

In long flights, how does the pup do his business, if needed?

[@cherylhowker1792]

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]

If somebody didn’t like dogs then oh well. The law is the law. They’d still have to obey the law.

[@cherylhowker1792]

@@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]

@@cherylhowker1792 Well I’m autistic too. Or so I’ve been told by somebody who assessed me. I must say though I think she was lying. Sight impaired and registered blind yes, autistic the lady who assessed me is wrong.

[@katyb2793]

@@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.

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.

[@Nirrrina]

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.

Praise Jesus all went well with you and your Guide dog and you're hubby🙏💯⚘💜 peace and blessings unto to you

[@danielledewitt1]

Guide dog not guy dog.

[@Nclxshannon]

I feel bad for u but you live life soo well ❤:) welll done xx

[@Positivekitten]

I know you mean well, but please don’t feel bad for anyone just because they are blind. We don’t want pity. We are very capable of having happy and productive lives. Feel bad for the people who bully or discriminate against us.

[@xDollparts]

​@@PositivekittenYeah 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.

[@Nclxshannon]

Girl can I not just be nice cuz she work hard. She can do anything ik she can. I don’t want pity I just know that she work incredibly hard

[@PortsladeBySea]

You are an amazingly brave young women. Doing that and being blind for me would be an utter 100% nightmare 🫢😬😱
