A 78-year-old woman has lost her lawsuit against Jetstar over the airline's refusal to allow her on a flight between Adelaide and Brisbane because she was confined to a wheelchair.
Sheila King now faces significant financial hardship after being ordered to pay a substantial part of the airline's legal costs.
Mrs King booked her flight over the internet in August 2008 but was contacted the next day and told she would not be able to fly on that day because there were already two passengers requiring wheelchair assistance booked on the flight.

But seems a fair enough decision though.
