Long distance disabled flying

[Solarjunkie]

My wheelchair using mother would like to attend a wedding on the west coast of Canada, a flight of about 11 hours. She can only walk a few steps, cannot stay sitting for long periods, and needs to visit the loo every one and a half to two hours. She could not stand in a loo queue.

She does not think the trip will be possible, but you may know differently! Are there disabled accessable loos on any planes? Is there any way she could stretch her legs/change her position/lie down? Is it possible for her (simple) needs to be met without her being the cabaret for rows of bored passengers?

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions.

I'm afraid I can't offer any direct information but I would suggest phoning some of the airlines and explaining the situation. You never know, you might just get a sympathetic answer from one of them.

Some of the first class seats may suit.

I would book a flight on a charter (Air Transat) and upgrade to club class where there are only about 20 passengers in the very front of the plane with your own toilet and plenty of room to stretch legs etc, you will probably find the cost will be similar to flying BA or Air Canada schedule, Good Luck

Sorry to be a misery - but do charter flights have club classes - I thought they were all economy.
