Hi I’m looking for advice. I’m going on a long haul flight and as I’m wheelchair bound I can’t go to the toilet on the plane. There’s no way I’ll be able to hold on for 10 hrs. Any suggestions?

Are you sure you won’t be able to use the aircraft toilet? Maybe if you contact the airline they will be able to advise as to how much space there is to transfer. As it’s a long haul flight there may be an aisle wheelchair for you to use to get from seat to toilet. It might not be as difficult as you fear. They must have encountered this before. Good luck and have a great trip.

There’s a tablet that can be prescribed from your gp.
