    Flying with crutches - QF [SYD-BNE-SYD]

    I couldn't find many posts on people flying with crutches. So I thought I would write up a basic TR that details what I had to encounter, flying with crutches. First of all, I never imagined how hard crutches are for people with injured limbs. I now appreciate disabled car spots, wheelchairs...

    Being someone who loves travelling, an offer from Qantas to upgrade to business class using points on a discount economy ticket is far more enticing than eating iced vovo biscuits.
