‘Wicked' notable calls out airline after alleged disability boarding denial
Marissa Bode has spoken out after claiming she was denied boarding by an airline because of her disability, calling the experience upsetting and unfair.
The Wicked notable shared her storyline in a video on April 23, describing what she said was an “awful” situation while trying to catch a connecting flight to a speaking event in Pennsylvania.
Bode, who uses a wheelchair, said the issue started when she asked staff for help at the gate.
The notable went on to add that they asked if she could stand and when she said no, she was told she would not be allowed to board.
Bode, however, claimed staff mentioned stairs on the plane and the weight of her wheelchair as reasons.
